Flexible couplings are used to link 2 rotating shafts that are not aligned in order to transmit the rotational power, known as torque, from 1 shaft to the other.
Most flexible couplings consist of 2 hubs and 1 middle assembly; each hub attaches to a shaft while the middle assembly flexes between the hubs to accommodate the misalignment of the 2 shafts.
Shaft misalignments are generally either parallel or angular and cause complications to transmitting rotational power from 1 shaft to another in the form of stresses, loads, vibrations, and other forces, which vary from 1 type of misalignment to another.
Flexible couplings are used in a broad range of applications, such as in motor vehicles, conveyors, escalators, agricultural, forestry and mining equipment, aeronautics, robotics and space exploration, among others.
