Use Of Coupling

 For connection to shafts of units manufactured separately as a motor and generator and provide for repair or
disconnection for option.
 To provide shaft misalignment or to introduce mechanical flexibility.
 To reduce the transmission of shock loads from one shaft to another.
 To introduce protection against overload.
 It should not have any projecting parts.

VOCABULARY

 BEAM COUPLING(acoplamiento de haz): is a flexible coupling for transmitting torque between two shafts while allowing for angular
misalignment, parallel offset, and even axial motion, of one shaft relative to the other.
 RIGID COUPLING(Acoplamiento rígido): A rigid coupling permits neither axial nor radial relative motion between the shafts of the driver
and driven unit. When the two shafts are connected solidly and properly, they operate as a single shaft.
 OUTPUT SHAFT(eje de salida): Is the part coming out of an engine that operates the accessories or transmits the engine's power. This can
drive the transmission or the alternator.
 SLEEVE-STYLE COUPLING(Acoplamiento tipo manga): Is a basic type of coupling. This consists of a pipe whose bore is finished to the
required tolerance based on the shaft size. Based on the usage of the coupling a keyway is made in the bore in order to transmit the torque
by means of the key.
 OFFSET(Compensar): a consideration or amount that diminishes or balances the effect of an opposite one
 TRANSMIT(Transmitir): allow to pass through a medium.
o INPUT SHAFT(Eje de entrada): The shaft delivering power into a mechanism. The shaft from the clutch into the transmission is the transmission
input shaft.
o RIGID(rígido): unable to bend or be forced out of shape; not flexible.
o ALIGN(alinear): put into correct or appropriate relative positions.
o FLEXIBLE COUPLINGS(Acoplamiento flexible): Flexible couplings are generally two hubs connected by a compliant member. The compliant
member can be an elastomer and even some soft or springy metal.
o POWER SOURCE(fuente de poder): is a source of power. Most commonly the type of power referred to is: Electric power, the rate at which
electrical energy is transferred by an electric circuit; usually produced by electric generators or batteries.
o ALIGNMENT ACCOMODATE(acomodación de alineamientos): the proper positioning or state of adjustment of parts in relation to each other.
