Coupling is used to couple the two axes together, the machine can not be separated when the two axes of operation, only the machine stops and the connection is opened, the two axes can be separated.

    Botou City Friends of Sheng Co., Ltd. technical staff to remind flexible components of the flexible coupling, can transfer movement and torque; with varying degrees of axial, radial, angular compensation performance; also has varying degrees Vibration, cushioning effect, improve the working performance of the transmission system, including a variety of non-metallic elastic components flexible coupling and metal elastic components flexible coupling, a variety of flexible coupling structure is different, the difference between the larger The role of the shaft drive system is not the same. Safety coupling transmission movement and torque, overload safety protection. Flexible safety coupling also has different degrees of compensation performance, including pin-type, friction, magnetic powder, centrifugal, hydraulic and other safety coupling.

   Couplings connected to the two axes, due to the production process and the installation process to do the error, as well as the deformation of the process and the impact of temperature changes, etc., will cause the relative position of the two-axis misalignment, often can not guarantee strict Right. According to whether the elastic components of the coupling, the relative displacement of the relative displacement capability, that is, whether the relative displacement conditions to maintain the connection function and the use of coupling, coupling can be divided into rigid coupling, Flexible couplings and safety couplings. The main types of couplings, features and their role in the role of the type of drive in the rigid coupling can only transfer movement and torque, do not have other features, including flange coupling, sleeve coupling, shell Coupling and so on

    Flexible coupling flexible components of the elastic coupling, not only can transmit movement and torque, but also have varying degrees of axial, radial, angular compensation performance, including the gear coupling, universal coupling Equipment, chain coupling, slider coupling and so on.
