Gear couplings N Small radial size; large power transmission
capacity, yet high cost.
Suitable for frequent start/stop cycles,
high-speed and heavy-duty applications.
√ √ √
Chain N Simple structure, compact size, convenient
couplings for maintenance.
Suitable for hostile environments, like
high-temperature, humid and dusty
conditions.
