What is a Sleeve Coupling? A Detailed Guide

A sleeve coupling is a mechanical device used to connect two shafts in order to transmit power and torque from one shaft to the other while accommodating misalignment and reducing the effects of shock and vibration. It is a type of flexible coupling that consists of a cylindrical sleeve, also known as a “sleeve” or “cylinder,” which connects the two shafts. This coupling design allows for some degree of angular, parallel, and axial misalignment between the shafts, making it a versatile choice for various applications in engineering and machinery.
