Rigid couplings are for well-constrained systems where the two shafts are not likely to get out of perfect axial alignment. Rigid couplings include sleeve or muff couplings which generally clamp ...

The precise alignment of two or more rotating shafts ... Offset and angular misalignment also reduces coupling, bearing and seal life significantly. Historically, shafts were aligned using ...

How to Install a Rigid Shaft Coupling. Video Credit: Ruland Manufacturing Company, Inc. Alignment and motion parameters to consider when specifying rigid couplings include: Angular misalignment ...

Interfacing a shaft to a 3D printed gear doesn’t have to be tricky. [Tlalexander] demonstrated a solution that uses one half of a spider coupling (or jaw coupling) to create an effective modular ...
