FLEXIBLE COUPLING

Flexible couplings are one of the major types of couplings. They find use to connect two shafts, end-to-end in the same line to transmit power that is torque from one shaft to another, thereby causing both to rotate in unison, at the same rpm. The other purpose is to compensate for small amounts of misalignment and random movement between the two shafts. Several factors should always be taken into consideration when looking to specify flexible couplings.
