Couplings chosen with application requirements in mind last longer, improve precision, and protect other system components from premature failure.

Interfacing a shaft to a 3D printed gear doesn’t have to be tricky. [Tlalexander] demonstrated a solution that uses one half of a spider coupling (or jaw coupling) to create an effective modular ...

Ruland’s zero-backlash jaw couplings are commonly used in medical, semiconductor, test and measurement, and robotics, due to their ability to dampen impulse loads in start-stop applications.
