Selecting the Ideal CouplingFlexible shaft couplings connect two shafts, end to end. They transmit rotation from one to the other and accommodate the slight, unintentional misalignment that is always present when two independently mounted shafts are presented for connection. There are many kinds of flexible couplings and while they all fulfil their primary purpose, each has certain characteristics that make it more effective in one application than another.

Couplings for wastewater services…Waste water facilities face many tough operating conditions every day. Easily processing many hundreds of millions of gallons each day, they operate on a continuous cycle whilst being exposed to water, chemicals, high shock loads and extreme temperatures. Couplings play an important role in wastewater processing by controlling vibration, minimizing misalignment and reducing maintenance costs. While they should operate maintenance free for many years, poorly specified couplings can fail which leads to lengthy downtime. |
