ABSTRACT

Elastomeric couplings not only handle these three functions but also protect equipment from the damaging effects of shock loading and vibration through resilience.

I. Elastomeric compression couplings 2. Elastomeric shear couplings

The elastomeric material is the resilient member, a rubber or synthetic rubberlike material. Figures 7 .I and 7.2 compare the two types of elas-
