Gear Coupling, Material: Stainless Steel, Usage: Industrial

A gear coupling is a mechanical device designed to transmit torque between two shafts that are not collinear. It consists of two flexible joints, one attached to each shaft. These joints are connected by a third shaft, known as a spindle. Each joint has a hub with external teeth that connect to a sleeve with internal teeth, allowing for a small amount of axial and angular misalignment between the connected shafts. Gear couplings are highly efficient and can transmit high torque relative to their size, handling both rotational power and misalignment without undue stress or wear. They are typically used in industrial machinery such as mills, conveyors, and pumps where robust and reliable torque transmission is crucial. Lubrication is essential for their operation to prevent wear and overheating.
