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 […]

High speed power transmission flexible shaft couplings – uni joints, jaw couplings and elastomeric can only run at 4° misalignment before they cause equipment failure through increased vibration and the general failure of the couplings themselves, Twin Spring’s Coupling can run at high speed and high torque and still be torsionally rigid at 15°, meaning less downtime for flexible coupling replacement and less wear and tear on belts, shafts and other components.
Log splitters put jaw couplings through one of the hardest use cases in light industrial equipment. Every cycle — from idle to full hydraulic pressure — generates a sharp shock load through the drivetrain. Get the coupling wrong and you’ll be replacing spiders every season. Get it right and the coupling outlasts everything else on […]
