Palm couplings (also known as elastic couplings or couplings) are typically used to connect two shafts to transmit rotational power. They are primarily designed to transmit torque and rotational motion, rather than shock absorption. The main function of a palm coupling is to connect two shafts at different angles and positions, and to allow a certain degree of axis deviation when transmitting power, thereby reducing stress and damage caused by minor misalignment or vibration between the shafts. However, if you require damping functions, such as in certain mechanical systems, to reduce the transmission of vibration and shock, specialized damping devices such as spring absorbers, dampers, or shock absorbers are usually used. These devices are designed to absorb vibration and impact energy, thereby protecting various components of the mechanical system from damage. Overall, the main function of palm couplings is to transmit torque and rotational motion, rather than shock absorption. To reduce vibration in a mechanical system, it is usually necessary to consider other types of shock absorption devices and technologies.
