Design Guide on Couplings

Machine designs rely on various mechanical connections such as couplings, shafts, and keyless locking devices. When choosing a coupling for a specific application, factors like speed, torque, service factors, predicted assembly misalignment, and bore size are considered.

However, balancing these parameters with the need to minimize overall machine costs, shorten delivery times, and simplify installation can sometimes pose challenges.
