Precision flexible shaft couplings come in two basic forms, both of which are designed to operate without backlash or excessive inertia while compensating for inevitable misalignment offsets between motor/gearbox and load. Torsionally stiff couplings are made with metallic flexible elements and with the intent to eliminate as much twisting deflection as possible so that the rotation of both shafts is kept as well synchronized as can be. 

Enhance your fundamental understanding of disc coupling technology through our new whitepaper, outlining how they are constructed, why they are ideal for certain applications, and how they are configured. These designs have been refined for decades for the ultimate in zero maintenance power transmission. Learn how they can work for you!

Couplings from JW Winco transmit rotary motions and torques from shaft to shaft. They also even out tolerances and mechanical deflection that would otherwise result in damage to drive or measurement configurations.
