Jaw Coupling vs Disc Coupling: Which Do You Need? A jaw coupling uses a replaceable elastomeric spider to absorb shock and handle minor misalignment, while a disc coupling uses a stack of thin metal discs to transmit torque with near-zero backlash and no wearing parts. Choose a jaw coupling for general-duty machinery where cost and […]

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 […]
