Different types of couplings
A coupling is a device that connects two shafts for the transmission of power. According to the alignment accuracy and torque required, couplings are rigid or flexible. The shaft coupling is a mechanical component that transmits power by connecting two spinning shafts, such as the driving shaft and the driven shaft. It’s found in motors,…
Everything you need to know about gears
by
Thinking of power transmission today, its common form is through gear. Gears are wheels with teeth and can also be called toothed wheels. A gear is a rotating circular machine part having cut teeth, in the case of a gearwheel, inserted teeth are called cogs, which mesh with another toothed part so that torque can…
