Abstract
Couplings are components used to connect two shafts at their ends, in order to transmit power and torque between two separate devices. The driving shaft usually transfers rotary motion from a power-generating device such as a motor or engine. While, the driven shaft is commonly the input of a transmission or a driven machine. In the industry, different couplings are used. The aim of this chapter is to partially compare the transmission of torque by the couplings using a graphical method.
