Study Notes
Coupling Types and Usage
- Rigid couplings are used when two parallel shafts are at a small distance apart.
- Hooke's couplings are used when the axes of the two shafts intersect.
Coupling Purposes
- The main function of a coupling in a mechanical device is to connect two shafts.
Flexible Couplings
- Flexible couplings are used to connect two shafts that are subject to slight misalignments or vibrations.
- They are typically used in scenarios where some degree of flexibility is required.
Rigid Couplings
- Rigid couplings can be used when the two shafts are perfectly aligned and do not require any flexibility.
