A flexible coupling is a mechanical power transmission component used to connect two rotating shafts while transmitting torque and accommodating limited misalignment between them. It helps reduce the effects of vibration, shock loads, and minor angular, parallel, or axial misalignment in industrial drive systems.
Flexible couplings are widely used in motors, pumps, gearboxes, compressors, fans, conveyors, and other rotating machinery. Proper coupling selection helps protect connected equipment, reduce stress on shafts and bearings, improve transmission reliability, and extend the service life of critical drive components.
