What is a Rigid Coupling? Types, Uses and Limitations

🔧 Introduction

A rigid coupling is a type of shaft coupling used to connect two shafts with high precision and no flexibility. It is commonly used in heavy-duty and low-speed applications.


⚙️ How Rigid Coupling Works

The rigid coupling connects two shafts directly, ensuring torque is transmitted without any loss.


⭐ Advantages

  • High torque capacity
  • Simple structure
  • No backlash
  • Strong and durable

⚠️ Limitations

  • No misalignment compensation
  • Requires precise shaft alignment

🏭 Applications

  • Mixer shafts
  • Industrial machinery
  • Heavy-duty equipment
