Couplings Principles of EngineeringTM Unit 4 - Lesson 4.1 - Mechanisms Couplings A device that is used to connect two shafts together for the purpose of power transmission. General types of couplings are: rigid: for aligned shafts flexible: for non-aligned shafts Project Lead The Way, Inc. Copyright 2007

Aligned Shaft Couplings Principles of EngineeringTM Unit 4 - Lesson 4.1 - Mechanisms Aligned Shaft Couplings Aligned shaft couplings are rigid couplings that are designed to draw two shafts together so that no motion can occur between them.
