| CAD: NTUT-J01 Oldham Coupling |
Oldham coupling
is used for the transmission between two parallel but
not colinear shafts. It comprises of a pair of components
which have the key slots and a connecting member which
has the keys. The two key-slot components are connected
to the driving and driven shafts, respectively. The
connecting member is set between the two components
by mating the keys on the connecting member with the
key slots on the components. When the driving shaft
is rotating, the connecting member will slide on the
key slots back and forth. And the driven shaft is motivated
with the same rotational speed as that of the driving
shaft. However, since all members of the Oldham coupling
are with pure sliding motion with respect to each other,
this coupling has the wear problem.
