Part I of this article appeared in the
October 2008 issue. It provided an overview and general classifi cations of power transmission couplings, along with selection and performance criteria for rigid couplings and misalignment-compensating couplings. Part II continues the discussion with selection and performance criteria for torsionally flexible and combination-purpose couplings.
Power transmission couplings are widely used for modifi cation of stiff ness and damping in power transmission
systems, both in torsion and in other
directions (misalignment compensation).
