gear coupling

A gear coupling is a type of mechanical joint that connects two rotating shafts while allowing for some degree of misalignment between them. It works by using gears to transmit torque from one shaft to another, ensuring smooth and efficient operation even when the shafts are not perfectly aligned. Gear couplings are commonly used in a variety of industrial applications where flexible connections are required, such as pumps, compressors, and conveyor systems.
