Which of the following is another name for ‘clamp coupling’?

Explanation:

The couplings are used to:

• Connect two shafts together, in order to transfer rotary motion from one to another.
• provides slip-free drive
• compensate for slight misalignment between the two shafts and provide for axial movement along their axis.

Types of coupling:

Safety or slip type coupling: A safety coupling is self-disengaging when the torque is higher than the friction generated by the spring and jaw.

Plate coupling: When shaft ends can be brought into perfect alignment, such shafts can be coupled together by means of a plate coupling. The shaft cannot be shifted in the axial direction.

Clamp coupling: This coupling is built up of two parts which are placed over the connecting ends of the shafts. The clamp coupling joins two shafts when they are in alignment, and this coupling does not permit any movement of the shafts. It is also known as Split muff coupling.

Universal Coupling: It allows positive transmission of power at larger angles than is permissible with a flexible coupling.

Hydraulic coupling: The hydraulic coupling or fluid coupling is a hydrodynamic device that is used to transfer rotational power from one shaft to another by the use of transmission fluid. Hydraulic coupling is the device used for transmitting the same torque to the driven shaft.
