Best Answer

It is used to transfer torque between two parallel but not collinear shafts.

Depending upon the matterial of the 3 discs , oldham coupling can be used in many devices. They can easily be used in servo mechanisms.

Application of Oldhams coupling

It was basically invented to connect two parallel non co axial shafts.

It is a really good mechanism and transmits the same speed and same direction of rotation.

It is not of much importance now as gears are being used.

What is a Thompson coupling?

A Thompson Coupling is a High RPM, High angle, constant velocity joint between to turning shafts. The TC is used in a wide range of applications from the automotive industry, trains and on the rotor shaft of helicopters.


What are the types of coupling in software engineering?

control coupling content coupling common coupling data coupling external coupling message coupling


What are types of mechanical coupling?

There are many like flexible coupling, jaw coupling, sleeve coupling, tire coupling, pin and bush coupling, rigid coupling, etc


Why transformer coupled amplifier is more efficient than RC coupled amplifier?

an RC coupled amplifier is basically used for voltage amplification , where the circuit currents are quite low. higher currents & voltages would mean more dissipation in the load resistors , which is essentially very lossy . The coupling amplitude to the next stage is ideally the same as the previous stage signal excursion. However if a transformer is used for coupling , both large voltages & current can be handled without incurring the dissipation of a resistive load. Moreover a coupling gain of the transformer primary to secondary ratio is also a bonus. also because of the possiblity of correct impedance matching on the primary & secondary side maximum power coupling is obtained. hence transformer coupling is more efficient in such applications. in high frequency applications transformer coupling , along with tuned circuits as applicable is the choice circuit.


Which coupling gives high gain in case of amplifier?

no.transformer coupling gives higher gain
