    couplings

    29.4 Understand power transmissions, principles of operation and failure patterns of 

    COUPLINGS

    Lesson Objectives

    • To discover the principles of operation: direct drive, driver to driven
    • To identify the different types and applications of couplings: rigid, flexible, alignment
    • To explore the operating symptoms: noise, overheating, vibration 
    • To inspect the symptoms of coupling wear: breakage, wear, cracking
    • To determine the causes of failure: wear, out of alignment, vibration, contamination, overload




    • Please read through the PowerPoint on the different types of couplings used in industry.

    • A Practical guide along with diagrams on how to align two shafts with a solid coupling.

    • Here is a very useful link to the different types of couplings that can be used in industry.

    • Here is extra information on shafts and couplings.
    • Please upload your finished PowerPoints here.
