Types and characteristics of couplings
1. Rigid couplings:
•Features: No displacement between the shafts is allowed, suitable for situations where the two shafts have good alignment.
•Types: including sleeve couplings, clamp couplings, flange couplings, etc.
2. Flexible couplings:
•Features: Able to compensate for axial, radial or angular displacement between the shafts, suitable for situations where the two shafts have poor alignment.
•Types: including plum blossom couplings, diaphragm couplings, bellows couplings, etc.
3. Elastic couplings:
•Features: Using elastic elements to absorb vibration and reduce impact, suitable for situations where vibration and impact need to be absorbed.
•Types: including tire couplings, star couplings, elastic pin couplings, etc.
4. Safety couplings:
•Features: Able to automatically disconnect when overloaded to protect other components in the transmission system from damage.
• Types: including friction safety couplings, shear pin safety couplings, etc.
5. Universal couplings:
• Features: capable of transmitting torque and rotational motion, while being able to compensate for large angular displacements, suitable for situations where the angular displacement between the two axes is large.
• Types: including cross-axis universal couplings, ball-fork universal couplings, etc.
6. Magnetic couplings:
• Features: using magnetic fields to transmit torque, suitable for situations that require isolation or explosion-proof.
• Types: including permanent magnet magnetic couplings, electromagnetic magnetic couplings, etc.
7. Servo couplings:
• Features: with high precision, high rigidity, etc., suitable for precision transmission systems such as servo motors.
• Types: including diaphragm servo couplings, plum blossom servo couplings, etc.
