2. The shafts of the driver and driven units cannot move in either an axial or radial direction when connected by a rigid coupling. When the two shafts are properly and firmly attached, they function as a single shaft. For vertical applications, such as vertical pumps, a rigid coupling worm gear is typically employed. Flanged, split, and compression stiff couplings are the types of couplings covered in this section. In situations where both shafts may be accessed freely, flanged couplings are employed. When access is restricted on one side, split couplings are used. For flanged and split couplings, keys and keyways are necessary. When using keys and keyways is not possible, compression couplings are used instead (e.g., brass shafts). Flanged One half of a flanged rigid coupling is on the end of the driver shaft, and the other half is on the end of the driven shaft. To create a strong connection, these parts are bolted together. The connection uses split circular key rings or dowels and axially fitting keys to positively transmit torque and avoid frictional reliance. Flanged couplings are usually used with vertical pump shafts.

3. What is a Rigid Coupler Worm Gear? When shafts are perfectly aligned, rigid couplings should be used. Otherwise, they should not be used. Only closely aligned or retained-in-alignment shafts should use a rigid coupling. If the shafts and bearings are not aligned, torque will be transferred to them and probably lead to premature failure. A stiff coupling has no flexible part, in contrast to the majority of other types of couplings. Rigid couplings come in three primary varieties: clamped, flanged, and sleeved. A rigid coupling for commercial shafting can be either a clamping sleeve or a sleeve with the shafts pressed into each end. An external flange with bolt holes may be present on the sleeves at the ends of the shafts. The shafts of large power machines are held rigidly by couplings that are fastened together, therefore the shafts must be precisely aligned prior to installation. Gear couplings use gear mesh to tolerate inherent misalignment while distributing power and torque between the connected shafts to create a mechanical connection between the rotating shafts of mechanical equipment.

4. Types of Coupling Beam Couplings A cylindrical piece of metal, typically made of steel or aluminum, with one or more spiral incisions between between solid metal makes up a beam coupling (the beams). Spiral cuts increase flexibility while allowing for torsional wind up. Large degrees of axial and angular misalignment can be accommodated using beam couplings. They are available in single- and multi-beam variants. Compared to single-beam counterparts, multi-beam designs may accommodate more parallel misalignment. Servo Coupling Servo/stepper couplings can be utilized to reduce overshoot and settling time by dampening vibration in addition to connecting shafts. There are several different coupling types to handle a range of load, speed, predicted misalignment, and other situations.

5. Bellows Couplings A bellows coupling is constructed around a metal bellows, as the name suggests. These couplings, which are lightweight to reduce inertia, provide maximum torsional rigidity and flexibility. They work well in applications where a high torque must be transferred with little backlash. Disk Couplings In order to handle flexing and misalignment, disc couplings use thin metal discs that function as springs. These couplings have a low backlash and strong torsional rigidity. They can accommodate torques on par with bellows couplings, but at a less expensive price. High speeds can be handled with disc couplings. Another degree of flexibility for enhancing system performance is offered by the disc material. For instance, nonmetallic discs offer electrical insulation, whereas stainless steel discs are ideal for medical devices. Hubs and discs made of aluminum aid in weight loss.

6. Gear Coupling Extremely high torques can be handled via gear couplings. A gear coupling is made up of two shafts that terminate in hubs that have external gearing and a forged sleeve with internal gears. One hub rotates the other when the shafts or hubs are put into the sleeve from opposing directions. Gear couplings are able to handle extremely high torque loads due to the huge surface contact area. They demand lubrication, just like any gearbox. Additionally, they experience backlash, which varies depending on the alignment and shape of the teeth. Gear couplings can function at speeds as high as 30,000 to 40,000 RPM if they are built with a tight fit between the inner gear and the outer gear. Jaw Couplings Jaw couplings consist of two opposed hubs made of two or more arms (jaws), which are separated from one another by a spider-shaped piece of plastic. They are made to transmit torque up to a predetermined limit. The spider fails when its tensile strength is exceeded, frequently inflicting damage to its jaws in the process. In general, the spider dampens vibration. Additionally, axial extension and compression can be absorbed. These couplings can be almost backlash-free with careful design and spider selection. They also isolate electrically. The drawback is that they can tolerate very little parallel misalignment and only about 0.5 degrees of angular misalignment.

Rubber Coupling Rubber couplings are positioned in between two hubs to form rubber connections. The rubber is effective at absorbing vibration, shock, and misalignment. Rubber couplings can be specifically made to account for shear or compression forces. Additionally, they add torsional suppleness. As a result, they may be useful for bearing protection.
