Rigid Couplings

Rigid couplings do not permit radial or axial motion in the shaft between the driver and the driver unit, so they operate as a single shaft. Rigid couplings are primarily used in vertical applications. A few types of rigid couplings include, flanged, split and compression.

Flanged couplings comprise of 2 halves, one on the driver shaft and the other on the driven shaft. Once bolted togeth...
