Muff coupling is also called sleeve coupling is the simplest type of rigid coupling that consists of a hollow cylinder whose inner diameter is the same as shaft. It is fitted over the ends of two shafts by means of a gif head key and power transmitted from one shaft to other by means of a key and a sleeve. Now, in this article, let us have a deep insight into the advantages of muff coupling.
Advantages of muff coupling :
- Muff coupling is the simplest form of coupling with consisting of only two parts are sleeve and key.
- It is simple to design and manufacturer.
- It is cheaper than other types of coupling.
- It has compact construction with small radial dimensions.
- It has no projecting parts except the key head.
- The external surface of the sleeve is smooth this gives safety to the operator.
