2. RIGID FLANGE COUPLING

3. • It consist of two flanges one keyed to the driver
shaft and other to the driven shaft.
• One of the flange has projected portion and
other has a corresponding recess. This help to
bring two shafts in line and maintain the
alignment.
• The two flanges are coupled together by means
of bolts and nuts. The number of bolts used are
generally three, four or six. The two keys are
staggered at right angles along the circumference
of the shafts.
• The flanges made of cast iron ,cast steel or steel.

4. The rigid flange coupling are of three types
1) UNPROTECTED TYPE RIGID FLANGE COUPLING
2) PROTECTED TYPE RIGID FLANGE COUPLING
3) MARINE TYPE RIGID FLANGE COUPLING

11. USES
To provide for misalignment of the shafts or
to introduce mechanical flexibility.
To reduce the transmission of shock loads
from one shaft to another.
To introduce protection against overloads.
To connect driving and the driven par.
To transfer power one end to another
end.(ex: motor transfer power to pump
through coupling.
