Metallic Flexible Couplings

Metallic flexible couplings join two shafts together to transmit mechanical power. Their flexibility allows independent motion of the two shafts and compensates for shaft misalignment, while their metal construction allows couplings to withstand high temperatures and maintain correct alignment. Metallic flexible couplings include many types of couplings like disc shaft couplings and gear shaft couplings. Disc shaft couplings consist of flexible metal discs. Gear shaft couplings consist of two hubs with an external gear and two sleeves with an internal gear to accommodate angular or offset misalignment.
