FOREWORD
This Indian Standard (Second Revision) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards on 6 July 1989
after the draft finalized by the Transmission Devices Sectional Committee had been approved by the
Light Mechanical Engineering Division Council.
This standard, originally published in 1964, had covered two types of flexible couplings, namely, bush type
and disc type. It was revised in 1980 and disc type coupling was deleted as it was considered to be
obsolete. This second revision incorporates the prevailing technical practices in the country and as such
the following important changes have been made:
a) Two types of couplings have been included, namely, Type A with conical bushes, and Type B
with cylindrical bushes. Type A and Type B couplings also differ slightly in shapes and some
dimensions.
b) Clauses on dimensions and designation have been modified as a result of above changes.

8 MARKING
8.1 Where applicable, the driving and driven halves
of the couplings shall be clearly marked so as to
ensure that they are assembled in the correct position
relative to each.other.
The coupling shall also be
marked with the name or trade-mark of the manufacturer and coupling numbers.
