Advantages of disc coupling

1.  Eliminates the need for lubrication and coupling maintenance

2.  Coupling can be inspected without disassembly

3.  Condition of disc packs can be inspected with a strobe light while the machine is running

4.  Note: It is not recommended that couplings be operated without coupling guards.

5.  Easy to assess equipment misalignment

6.  Torsionally rigid without any backlash

7.  No wearing parts

8.  Resistance to harsh environments

9.  Long life when properly sized and aligned

10. High power density (higher torque for a given outside diameter)
