What is claw coupling?

A claw coupling is a type of mechanical coupling used to connect two shafts, allowing for the transmission of torque while accommodating misalignment and vibration. It typically consists of two claw-shaped components that interlock, providing a secure connection. Claw couplings are commonly used in various applications, including pumps and motors, due to their ease of installation and ability to handle moderate loads. They also allow for quick disconnection when maintenance is needed.
