What is a Disc Coupling ?

A disc coupling is a type of flexible coupling that transmits torque between two shafts while accommodating misalignment. It’s a high-performance coupling often used in servo motor applications and other demanding situations. The coupling consists of two hubs connected by a series of thin, flexible discs (or a diaphragm) that can bend to compensate for misalignment.

Here’s a more detailed explanation or click here for Datasheets page:

  • Function:Disc couplings are designed to transmit torque (rotational force) between two shafts while allowing for some degree of misalignment between them. 
  • Construction:They typically consist of two hubs, each attached to a shaft, and a flexible element (either a disc pack or a diaphragm) that connects the two hubs. 
  • Misalignment Accommodation:The flexible element allows for angular, parallel, and axial misalignment between the shafts. 
  • High Performance:Disc couplings are known for their ability to handle high speeds and torque, making them suitable for servo motor applications and other demanding situations. 
  • Types:There are various types of disc couplings, including those with single or double disc packs, and those with drop-in or traditional styles. 
  • Applications:They are commonly used in pumps, compressors, fans, blowers, and other industrial machinery.
