A coupling device transmits force between the two rotating shafts in industrial power transmissions and is critical for operation. So it’s important that the coupling chosen for your gearbox is able to handle the resulting forces, vibration and load type of the rotating shafts. The natural vibrations, along with the amount of torque transmitted, can […]
