What are the main functions of a coupling?

Couplings transmit torque in drive systems. But they are able to do more. These are the three essential functions of a coupling.

1. Transmitting torque
   功率和速度导致扭矩。只有在扭矩的传输下，机器才能操作。
2. Compensating misalignment
   “If a coupling is not installed in the ideal physically straight manner, it must be capable of compensating misalignments between the driving and driven element”, states Reinhardt Hackenschmidt, Academic Head for拜罗伊特大学的工程设计和CAD。“这可能涉及平行，轴向和角度未对准。”
3. Providing smooth operations
   “With a coupling I can tune a system in a highly dynamical way, provide for operational smoothness and for shock absorption“, explains Norbert Telaar, Head of Strategic Product Management at RINGFEDER POWER TRANSMISSION. “A coupling should be able to handle all this.”
