There are many types of flexible couplings available on the market. Each has its own features and benefits, but all are required to perform a few primary functions: connect two shafts, transmit rotary power and compensate for some shaft misalignment. Elastic couplings are integrally formed metal elastomers, usually cut from metal round rods. Commonly used materials include aluminum alloy, stainless steel, and engineering plastics, which are suitable for various deviations and precise torque transmission.

The flexible gear coupling is a specially designed advanced gear coupling. Its outer teeth are made into a sphere, with the center of the sphere on the axis of the gear. The teeth clearance is slightly larger than the general products and can transfer a greater torque and allow greater angular displacement, enjoying excellent performance and longer life.
