How
Disc Couplings Work
Disc type couplings consist of two opposing
discs with powerful rare earth magnets. The
torque applied to one disc is transferred
through an air gap to the other disc. Because
of its simple flat design, you can have angular
misalignment of up to 3º or parallel
misalignment up to ¼” and still
transmit nearly full rotational torque. You
could also fabricate an inexpensive flat barrier
to separate the atmospheres or fluids surrounding
the two discs. This is our simplest and most
versatile coupling.
