Jaw couplings and disc couplings both connect two rotating shafts while absorbing misalignment, but they solve the problem differently. Jaw couplings use a flexible spider insert for shock absorption and easy field replacement; disc couplings use thin metal discs for a zero-backlash, high-precision connection. Here’s how to pick the right one. Jaw Couplings: Built for […]

The short answer: Use a jaw coupling for general machinery where shock absorption matters. Use a disc coupling where you need zero backlash, high torque, and precise alignment — typically servo systems and high-speed equipment. What Is a Jaw Coupling? A jaw coupling (also called a spider coupling or claw coupling) is a three-piece flexible coupling: […]
