Barrel-Type Coupling
A barrel-type coupling is an elastomer-based coupling element used to transmit power and motion between two shafts. Widely preferred in industrial machinery, this coupling type ensures safe and efficient torque transmission while also absorbing vibrations generated in the system, thereby extending equipment life.
Thanks to their barrel-shaped structure, these couplings offer flexible operation, can tolerate shaft misalignment, and contribute to more stable system operation by damping shock loads.
Product Features and Advantages
- High torque transmission capacity
