A shaft coupling is a device used to connect two shafts together at their ends for the purpose of transmitting power. It is designed to allow some degree of misalignment between the shafts and to reduce shock loads, vibrations, and bearing loads. Sources: 1. "Coupling" from Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coupling) - Information found in the introduction and 'Purpose' sections. 2. "What is a Shaft Coupling?" from Ruland (https://www.ruland.com/blog/what-is-a...) - Information found in the first two paragraphs.
