USES OF SHAFT COUPLINGS

USES


Shaft couplings are used in mechanical mechanism


1: To provide connection for units that are separately manufactured such as motor and generator.

2: To introduce mechanical flexibility.

3: To reduce transmission of shock loads from one shaft to another.

4: To alter the vibration of rotation shaft.

5: To produce protection against over loads.

REQUIREMENTS OF SHAFT COUPLING

A shaft coupling should be able to fulfill the following requirements: 

1:It should be easy to connect or disconnect.


2: It should transmit full power from one shaft to the other.


3: It should hold both of the shafts in desired alignment.


4: It should have no projected parts.
