Mechanical drives use shafts to transmit power through a machine. Shafts can carry pulleys, sprockets, gears, and couplings to transmit rotary motion. Understanding how they are made, installed, and maintained are essential skills that future industrial mechanics must master.

The Couplings – Shafts Panel includes five stainless steel shafts of two different lengths with key seat and flat. These are required in most experiments. The popular rigid sleeve and flexible jaw couplings are provided to teach basic couplings and shafts alignment methods. All components are stored on a panel for identification and inventory control. The panel has handles for moving and positioning. One Shafts and Couplings Panel is required with each Workstation.
