Splined Rigid Coupling
Splined Rigid Coupling
Definition
A splined rigid coupling is a mechanical component that connects two shafts, allowing them to rotate together while maintaining alignment. The coupling features a series of splines, or ridges, that fit into corresponding grooves on the shafts, providing a secure and torque-efficient connection.
Examples
- Automotive drive shafts
- Industrial machinery transmissions
- Aerospace applications
- Robotic systems
Applications
Splined rigid couplings are used in various industries, including:
- Manufacturing equipment
- Marine propulsion systems
- Renewable energy (wind turbines)
- Construction machinery
