What is the use of oldham's coupling?

To transmit torque or rotation from one shaft to another when their axis are not in line.


Working of oldham's coupling?

An Oldham coupling is a flexible shaft coupling that consists of two hubs (each with a fin or tenon) and one midsection (with grooves that fit those fins, one on each side of the midsection, and perpendicular to one another). The Oldham coupling is an outstanding design for torque transmission between two shafts which might be slightly misaligned. The coupling accommodates this misalignment, while maintaining homokinetic motion (the two shafts rotate at the same speed at all times), and while exerting only very small reactive forces (resistance to accommodation of the misalignment, exhibited as sideward forces on the shafts). More information on Oldham couplings can be found at www.oepcouplings.com.


Applications of oldhams coupling?

It is used to transfer torque between two parallel but not collinear shafts. Depending upon the matterial of the 3 discs , oldham coupling can be used in many devices. They can easily be used in servo mechanisms.

What is the difference between transformer coupling and RC coupling?

RC COUPLING :- is the most Commonly used Coupling Between the two stages of a cascaded or multistage amplifier because it is cheaper in cost and Very compact circuit and provides excellent frequency response. TRANSFORMER COUPLING :- Impedence Coupling results in more efficient amplification because no signal power is wasted in Inductor L. Such Coupling has the drawback of being larger, Heavier and Costlier than the RC COUPLING. Impedence Coupling is rarely used beyond audio range . by : Muhammad zubair.... muet student of telecom.
