flange coupling

A coupling is a mechanical device that joins two shafts for power transmission between a driving and a driven shaft. In rotational motion, alignment and torsion are crucial factors to consider. A flange coupling is a type of this device used on rotating shafts, featuring flanges fixed at the ends of each shaft and secured with bolts fitted circumferentially to complete the drive. However, flange couplings require both shafts to be perfectly aligned in either static or dynamic conditions.
