Definition
⚫ Couplings are used to connect sections of shafts or
to connect the shaft of a driving machine to the shaft
of a driven machine. This affords a permanent
connection.
⚫ Clutch is a friction device which permits the
connection or disconnection of shaft
⚫ Note : A coupling is termed as a device used to
make permanent or semi-permanent connection
where as a clutch permits rapid connection or
disconnection at the will of the operator.
Purpose of Coupling
⚫ to provide for the connection of shafts of units
that are manufactured separately such as a
motor and generator.
⚫ to provide for disconnection for repairs or
alternations.
⚫ to introduce mechanical flexibility.
⚫ to reduce the transmission of shock loads
from one shaft to another.
⚫ to introduce protection against overloads.
Coupling Requirements

⚫ It should hold the shafts in perfect alignment.

⚫ It should be easy to connect or disconnect.
⚫ It should transmit the full power from one
shaft to the other shaft without losses.
⚫ It should reduce the transmission of shock
loads from one shaft to another shaft.
Types of Couplings
⚫ Rigid coupling. It is used to connect two shafts
which are perfectly aligned.
⚫ Sleeve or muff coupling.
⚫ Clamp or split-muff or compression coupling, and
⚫ Flange coupling.
⚫ Flexible coupling. It is used to connect two shafts
having both lateral and angular misalignment.
⚫ Bushed pin type coupling,
⚫ Universal coupling, and
⚫ Oldham coupling.
Sleeve or Muff-coupling
⚫ It is the simplest type of rigid coupling, made
of cast iron.
⚫ The usual proportions of a cast iron sleeve
coupling are as follows :
⚫ Outer diameter of the sleeve, D = 2d + 13 mm
⚫ Length of the sleeve, L = 3.5 d
⚫ where d is the diameter of the shaft.

⚫ usually applies to a coupling having two
separate cast iron flanges.
⚫ each flange is mounted on the shaft end and
keyed to it.
