JOINTS

Joints are fundamental mechanical components used to connect two parts of a system to allow some degree of movement or to transmit power and motion from one component to another. They are crucial to ensure flexibility, adaptability and absorption of vibrations and stresses in mechanical systems.

Made from materials such as steel, cast iron, aluminium, rubber and composite materials, joints are chosen according to the specific needs of the application, considering factors such as load, speed, environmental conditions and the type of movement required. There are various types of joints, including rigid, flexible, gimbal, bellows, Oldham and cruciform joints, each with unique characteristics for different applications.

Used in industries such as automotive, aerospace, manufacturing, energy and transport, couplings are essential for the efficient and safe operation of machinery and equipment.
