Shaft couplings connect two rotating shafts and enable reliable torque transmission – even in the event of misalignment or slight shaft misalignment. They compensate for axial, radial, and angular deviations, thus contributing to the longevity and smooth running of machines. Different types are used depending on the requirements, such as double-loop couplings for high flexibility with low torques, claw couplings for backlash-free and damping connections, web couplings for compact applications, helical couplings for precise motion transmission, or heavy-duty helical couplings for high torques with simultaneous misalignment compensation. Typical areas of application include mechanical engineering, robotics, conveyor technology, and automation. Their ability to precisely transmit motion and compensate for mechanical loads makes shaft couplings indispensable components in drive technology.
