Talk:Sleeve coupling

untitled
A5rtr (talk) 13:27, 11 September 2011 (UTC) it is the simplest type of rigid coupling, made of cast iron. it contains of a hollow cylinder whose inner diameter is the same as that of the shaft. it is fitted over the ends of the two shafts by means of a gib head key. the power is transmitted from one shaft to the other shaft by means of a key & a sleeve.

Merge of Clamp or split-muff
I suggest a merge. They're the same coupling in technical terms, and there are at least five names for the broad type: split-, box-, muff-, split-muff- & clamp-. At present these five names are distributed randomly between the two. Although there are two technical types (split & unsplit), they can be covered within the same article without problems.

We may even wish to merge the gear coupling, as a form of splined sleeve coupling with extra large splines and some axial freedom. Andy Dingley (talk) 08:45, 24 May 2012 (UTC)
