Torsional flexibility, or the ability to handle shock or vibratory loads, is an important consideration when choosing a coupling. In addition to accommodating shaft misalignment, a well-designed coupling should be able to absorb the energy of impact and spread it out over time. This is one of the reasons the Falk F coupling remains in […]
