Coupling

A coupling is a mechanical device used to connect two shafts together at their ends for the purpose of transmitting power. Couplings are essential in various industrial and mechanical systems to ensure that power can be transmitted efficiently and reliably from one component to another. There are several types of couplings, each designed for specific applications and conditions.

Pipe couplings are highly demanded in the pipe fitting market. Pipe couplings are fittings that help to extend or terminate pipe runs. These fittings are also used to change pipe size. Couplings extend a run by joining two lengths of pipe. They are known as reduced coupling if they are used to connect pipes of different sizes.

Couplings are critical in ensuring the longevity and efficiency of mechanical systems. They are often chosen based on the specific needs of the application, such as the amount of torque that needs to be transmitted, the level of flexibility required, and the operating conditions.

Couplings are also known as repair couplings. These couplings are without stops or ridges and they can be fixed anywhere along the pipe length for preventing leak of any kind.

Considerations for Selection:

• Torque Requirements: Ensuring the coupling can handle the required torque.
• Misalignment: Whether the system can accommodate axial, angular, or parallel misalignment.
• Environmental Conditions: Exposure to heat, chemicals, or other harsh environments may influence material choice.
• Flexibility and Damping: Needed to reduce vibration and absorb shock loads.
