Front

General purpose gear couplings are made from titanium.

Back

False

Front

Rigid couplings are used to connect shafts that are precisely aligned.

Back

True

Front

Flexible couplings are used to connect shafts that need to be accommodated for their misalignment.

Back

True

Front

Flanged couplings are designed for use in low torque applications under 20,000 ft-lbs.

Back

False

Front

Sleeve couplings attach to shafts with locking setscrews.

Back

True

Clamp rigid couplings allow for even distribution of clamping forces around the shaft.

Back

True

Front

Flexible couplings can accommodate up to 3 degrees of angular misalignment between shafts.

Back

False

Front

To reduce wear, some gear couplings are hardened

Back

True

Front

Manufacturers rate a coupling for its maximum misalignment capability.

Back

True

Front

Disc couplings transmit torque by a simple tensile force.
