1. Coupling

   A coupling is a device used to connect two shafts together at their ends for the purpose of transmitting power. The primary purpose of couplings is to join two pieces of rotating equipment while permitting some degree of misalignment or end movement or both. In a more general context, a coupling can also be a mechanical device that serves to connect the ends of adjacent parts or objects. Couplings do not normally allow disconnection of shafts during operation, however there are torque-limiting couplings which can slip or disconnect when some torque limit is exceeded. Selection, installation and maintenance of couplings can lead to reduced maintenance time and maintenance cost.

1. coupling

   Coupling refers to the degree and means by which different systems, components, or elements are interconnected and depend on each other. It can occur in various contexts such as mechanical engineering, physics, biology, computer science, etc. Higher levels of coupling often indicate that a change in one component could significantly affect another, while lower levels suggest more independence among components. This concept is crucial in systems design because improper coupling can lead to complex systems that are difficult to manage, maintain, and update.
