Hi guys in this article we try to learn the topic Comparison of Rigid Coupling and Flexible Coupling. It is important point in subject theory of machines so without wasting of time let's discuss detail information,

Comparison of Rigid Coupling and Flexible Coupling

Comparison of Rigid Coupling and Flexible Coupling

The main concept of coupling is different types of couplings used for different reason. They have different size and shapes. 

These are two types

 a) Rigid Coupling 

This type of coupling is use to connect two shafts are aligned.

b) Flexible Coupling

This type of coupling is use to connect which are not aligned.

Sr.no	Rigid Coupling	Flexible Coupling
1.	This coupling used for to connect two shafts which are properly aligned.	This coupling is used for to connect two shafts having less misalignment.
2.	Rigid couplings not absorb any shock and vibrations.	Flexible coupling absorb shock and vibrations.
3.	In this type of coupling deflection of shaft is less.	In this type of coupling deflection of shaft is more.
4.	Rigid coupling cost is less.	Flexible coupling cost is more.
5.	Low suitable.	More suitable.
6.	Rigid coupling required regular maintenance.	Flexible coupling not required regular maintenance.

So in this article we learned the topic Comparison of Rigid Coupling and Flexible Coupling hope you understand best.
