Definition

A mechanical device that connects two rotating shafts to transmit torque while accommodating angular, parallel and/or axial misalignment and providing vibration damping or torsional compliance via an elastic or compliant element (for example an elastomer, spring or flexible disc), rather than rigidly fixing their relative position; some coupling types (see boundary) may exhibit limited mechanical
