Couplings

What category of coupling provides a high stiffness across the joint?

• Rigid couplings

• Flexible couplings

What category of coupling provides higher torsional speeds for the system?

• Rigid couplings

• Flexible couplings

What category of coupling won't present premature failure by overloads produced by a lack of colinear alignment between the mating shafts?

• Rigid couplings

• Flexible couplings

Choose the rigid coupling that provides means for dynamic balancing?
