Forging coupling

It is a forging device used to connect two shafts together at

their ends for the purpose of transmitting power. Couplings

do not normally allow disconnection of shafts during operation,

however there are torque limiting couplings which can slip or

disconnect when some torque limit is exceeded.

The primary purpose of couplings is to join two pieces of rotating

equipment while permitting some degree of misalignment or end

movement or both. By careful selection, installation and maintenance

of couplings, substantial savings can be made in reduced maintenance

 costs and downtime.

petroleum, chemical, power, gas, metallurgy, shipbuilding, construction
