A flexible coupling is a mechanical device used to connect two shafts together while allowing for some degree of misalignment, axial movement, or angular displacement between them. It consists of two flanges or hubs connected by a flexible element, such as a rubber or metal disc, which absorbs shock and vibration, compensating for misalignment or movement.

Flexible couplings are commonly used in various applications, including power transmission systems, machinery, pumps, compressors, and conveyors, where it is necessary to transmit torque while accommodating misalignment or movement.

The key advantage of a flexible coupling is its ability to reduce stress and wear on connected equipment by absorbing shocks and vibrations. It helps to extend the service life of the machinery, minimize downtime, and improve overall system performance.

There are different types of flexible couplings available, such as jaw couplings, disc couplings, gear couplings, and elastomeric couplings, each offering specific benefits and limitations depending on the application requirements.
