Flange coupling
Flange couplings [1] are rigid couplings for connecting 2 shafts [2].
Flange couplings are suitable for operation in both directions of rotation, but cannot
compensate any shaft misalignments.
Torque between shaft and coupling is transmitted via a cylindrical interference fit. The
two coupling halves are mounted together at the flanges. The couplings are equipped
with several disassembly bores [3] for removing the interference fit hydraulically.
