4.6.4 Coupling
A flexible coupling offers the advantages of economy, allowance for misalignment, and reduction of backlash. Flexible
disc or bellows style couplings are recommended. The couplings are available for both plain shaft as well as for slot and
key configurations. The shaft key should then be a close clearance or light press fit into the coupling key-way. Refer to
Figure 4.8:- Motor Load Coupling , for flexible coupling detail.
Figure 4.8:- Motor Load Coupling
:- A rigid coupling should not be used. Normal runouts and eccentricities will
result in damage to motor and/or load shaft and bearings.
