Jaw couplings are a general, all-purpose industrial power transmission device that operates in a range of temperatures, handles angular misalignment and the accompanying reactionary loads, resists chemicals, and has good speed and dampening capabilities. A basic jaw coupling is made of three parts: two hubs, generally bored to a clearance fit tolerance, and an elastomeric insert. These inserts sometimes referred to as spiders, are designed to last a long time, but do eventually need to be replaced.
