What are some mistakes end users make regarding couplings and/or shafts, and how do they affect productivity? Darrin/Gerwah: The most common mistake is not aligning couplings to manufacturer specs.

For shorter shafts, like on the drive axles of front-wheel-drive vehicles, there may not be room for a pair of U-joints. To accommodate this, another flexible coupling is used: constant velocity ...

Couplings, shafts, and locking devices smooth even brute-force inputs for safer, more consistent output. However, protecting other costlier components does take its toll. Here we discuss connector ...
