Performance Analysis of 5-D Coupling for Parallel Angular Transmission

Five dimensional coupling is a mechanical transmission system used to transmit the mechanical power in parallel as well as angular offset. The main function of coupling is to transmit the power from input shaft to output shaft without any loss. There are many types of couplings used for power transmission. In this transmission system three linear offset & two angular offset are present. Five dimensional coupling gives the step less variation in power transmission. Generally coupling used in power transmission have maximum friction, also power losses. By using five dimensional coupling all losses can be avoided. This paper explains the details of performance of coupling by using the rope brake dynamo meter. This gives the detailed information about the increase or decrease in torque, O/P power, Efficiency with respect to input power.
