Flanged Coupling
grabcad
The universally-used rigid coupling, featuring two flanged shafts keyed together and bolted, has a rich history. In 1545, Girolamo Cardano theorized the use of gimbals to transmit rotary motion through angled connections, leading to the development of the Cardan Shaft in 1548 on Charles V's carriage. Robert Hooke later refined this concept in 1676 for solar study instruments. It wasn't until 1903 that Clarence W. Spicer patented and commercialized the universal joint, revolutionizing automotive and industrial industries with his self-designed car. The need to overcome shaft misalignment, length, and bending properties led to the invention of the mechanical coupling, transforming energy transfer through shafts in all possible scenarios.
