Taper bush HRC shaft couplings

A shaft coupling is used to transmit power from a driving shaft to a driven shaft. The shafts are arranged so that one is an extension of the other, or at an angle to each other. Couplings transmit torques without play and can also compensate for radial and axial misalignment, even at high levels of rigidity.

It is possible to have a rigid connection or a flexible connection that is able to dampen the above mentioned misalignment and vibrations. Shaft couplings are almost maintenance-free and fulfil their task to a high degree of precision throughout the entire service life. They are therefore also often used in situations where the drive must be extremely precise

Shaft couplings are available in different versions, for example as: tyre coupling, flexible claw coupling, (curved) tooth coupling, fixed coupling, disk clutch, elastic coupling, fluid coupling, pin coupling and cylindrical clamping elements. Which option is the correct one depends mainly on the power to be transmitted, the field of application and the working environment. Shaft couplings, which must be resistant to moisture, rust formation or other (aggressive) ambient conditions, are also available in stainless steel or with special surface treatment.
