Articles related to Couplings & U-Joints Bellows Couplings: Proper Selection for Optimal Performance
For many years bellows couplings have been near the top of the list of flexible coupling choices for high-performance motion systems. Their high
torsional stiffness, low moment of inertia and minimal restoring forces under misalignment make them a preferred choice for maintaining tight control over the load.
 Selection and Performance Criteria for Power Transmission Couplings, Part II
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.
 Selection and Performance Criteria for Power Transmission 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).
