  2. Coupling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coupling

    An improvised flexible coupling made of car tyre pieces connects the drive shafts of an engine and a water pump. This one is used to cancel out misalignment and dampen vibrations. Rotating coupling. A coupling is a device used to connect two shafts together at their ends for the purpose of transmitting power. The primary purpose of couplings is ...

  3. Coupling (piping) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coupling_(piping)

    Alternatively it is a short length of pipe with two female National pipe threads (NPT) (in North American terms, a coupler is a double female while a nipple is double male) or two male or female British standard pipe threads. If the two ends of a coupling are of different standards or joining methods, the coupling is called an adapter. Examples ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cam_and_groove

    Cam and groove fittings are commonly available in several materials, including stainless steel, aluminum, brass, and polypropylene. [2] Because there are no threads to become fouled, cam and groove couplings are popular in moderately dirty environments, such as septic tank pump trucks and chemical or fuel tanker trucks.

  5. Piping and plumbing fitting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piping_and_plumbing_fitting

    The groove is made by cold-forming (or machining) a groove at the end of a pipe. A gasket encompassed by coupling housing is wrapped around the two pipe ends, with the coupling engaging the groove; the bolts and nuts are tightened with a socket or impact wrench. The installed coupling housing encases the gasket and engages the grooves around ...

  6. Disc coupling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disc_coupling

    A disc coupling is a high performance motion control coupling designed to be the torque transmitting element (by connecting two shafts together) while accommodating for shaft misalignment. It is designed to be flexible, while remaining torsionally strong under high torque loads. Typically, disc couplings can handle speeds up to 10,000 r/min.

  7. Constant-velocity joint - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constant-velocity_joint

    A Rzeppa-type CV joint. A constant-velocity joint (also called a CV joint and homokinetic joint) is a mechanical coupling which allows the shafts to rotate freely (without an appreciable increase in friction or backlash) and compensates for the angle between the two shafts, within a certain range, to maintain the same velocity.
