Shaft Couplings
Shaft Couplings
Shaft couplings are mechanical components used to connect two rotating shafts in order to transmit torque while accommodating misalignment, vibration, and shock loads. In modern industrial equipment, couplings with polyurethane elastomer elements are widely preferred for their excellent elasticity, wear resistance, and long service life.
