Term: General-purpose coupling

Description: A coupling that transmits power between the rotating shafts of two machines for general-purpose applications. Such applications will typically require couplings to transmit power at speeds not exceeding 3800 rpm between machines in which the first lateral critical speed is above the running speed range (stiff shaft machines). This coupling is often a standard type that can be selected from a catalogue.
