Flexible coupling - Flexible disc coupling
A disc coupling, by
definition, transmits torque from a driving to a driven bolt or shaft
tangentially on a common bolt circle. Torque is transmitted between the bolts
through a series of thin, stainless steel discs assembled in a pack.
Misalignment is accomplished by deforming of the material between the bolts.
A disc coupling is a high performance motion control (servo)[clarification
needed] coupling designed to be the torque transmitting element (by connecting
two shafts together) while accommodating for shaft misalignment. It is designed
to be flexible, while remaining torsionally strong under high torque loads.
Typically, disc couplings can handle speeds up to 10,000 r/min.
Easy installation.
Excellent resistance to shock loads.
Vibration dampening.
Virtually
maintenance-free.
