Metal disc packs transmit torque and accommodate permitted misalignment through elastic deformation. The disc packs themselves require no lubrication. Suitability for pumps, fans, machine tools and other precision drives depends on the selected design. Check operating speed, balance, temperature and shock loads against the technical data; the absence of a rubber element does not make a coupling suitable for every load.
