What are the functions of the coupling?

The coupling is to connect two shafts so that the two shafts rotate together to transmit motion and torque, which can realize the connection and separation between the shaft and the shaft, so as to realize the power transmission and interruption.
Rigid coupling is used to connect the two shafts to be strictly aligned, and no relative misalignment occurs during work.
Flexible couplings are used to connect two shafts where there is a large installation error and the two shafts have relative displacement during operation.
Safety coupling: There is a safety link (such as pins, movable couplings, etc.), which can only bear a limited load.
The flexible coupling, due to its special structure design, has many functions:
1. Compensate the axial displacement, radial displacement and angular displacement of the two connected shafts caused by manufacturing and installation errors to avoid excessive additional load on the shaft end.
2. Alleviate the torsional impact on the shaft when the reducer is working.
3. Change the resonance speed of the shaft system. For example, when the impact absorption work is the same, the larger the torsion angle based on the torque (ie, the smaller the stiffness), the smaller the impact torque.The lower the resonance speed.In addition, the moment of inertia of the coupling also affects the resonant speed of the shaft.
4. Reduce the torsional vibration of the shaft.However, this can only be achieved when a structure with greater damping (increasing friction damping) or a material with greater internal damping (such as rubber, plastic, etc.) is used as the intermediate force transmission member of the coupling.
When the machine is accidentally overloaded, it will often cause damage to the transmission or other parts.If a safety coupling is used in the drive shaft system, the breaking, separation or slippage of the coupling elements in the coupling can interrupt the power flow of the transmission or limit the transmission of the power flow, which can play a role in safety protection.
