Disc Coupling

A disc coupling is a type of flexible coupling used to connect two rotating shafts while compensating for misalignment. It consists of two hubs made of metal or plastic, and a flexible disc or multiple discs made of thin metal or composite material. Disc couplings are known for their high torsional stiffness, which allows them to transmit torque efficiently while dampening vibrations and shock loads. They also provide a high degree of accuracy and repeatability, making them ideal for precision machinery applications. Disc couplings are commonly used in a variety of industrial applications, such as pumps, compressors, generators, and turbines, where reliable and flexible power transmission is required. They are also used in high-speed and high-torque applications, where other types of couplings may not be suitable.
