Flexible shaft couplings

Connect and transmit power from a driving shaft to a driven shaft

Protect system

Manage to compensate for totally 4 shaft misalignments:

Angular

Offset

Combination (angular + offset)

Axial movement

These shaft deviations are unavoidable, since machines are unloaded during alignment.

During operation the resulting forces are causing the shafts to bend. Other causes can for instance be thermal expansion, worn bearings, installation (human) errors.
