Flexible couplings are an essential component in many industrial applications as they provide a means to transmit torque between two shafts while accommodating for any misalignment, reducing vibration and noise, and providing a flexible or movable connection between the input and output shafts.
These couplings are commonly used in applications such as pumps, compressors, conveyors, and other machinery that requires a reliable and efficient method of transmitting torque while accommodating for misalignment.
When compared to flexible metallic couplings, elastomeric couplings are easier to install and require less maintenance. They are more flexible offering superior vibration and shock absorption, reducing wear, extending service life and provide greater protection to equipment due to their ability to accommodate larger misalignment angles.
