A coupling is a device used for two main purposes in rotating machinery: connecting the driving machine to the driven machine and transmitting torque from the driving machine. Given that rotating machines are usually operated at relatively high speeds, factors such as vibration loads and misalignment loads are critical parameters influencing the design of this product.
Typically, couplings do not allow shafts to separate during operation; however, torque-limiting couplings can slip or disengage when the torque exceeds a certain threshold.
7 Steps to Implement Reliability-Based Maintenance (RBM)
Today, a factory’s assets play a key role in the overall efficiency of companies and manufacturing plants. This is why more and more production companies are turning to reliability-based maintenance
