🔍 Key Concepts

• Flexible shaft couplings used between an electric motor and a centrifugal pump • How each option looks in cross-section: wires, claws, gears, or bolts with rubber bushes • The way torque is transmitted between the upper (motor) hub and lower (pump) hub in the illustration

💭 Think About

• Look closely at the region where the motor shaft connects to the pump shaft: what shape do you actually see between the two metallic hubs? • Ask yourself which of the four choices would show up in a cross‑section as the pattern of small, evenly spaced elements drawn between the hubs. • Which coupling type is typically enclosed by a cylindrical sleeve and relies on multiple small teeth or elements for torque transmission rather than a few large bolts or a single wire grid?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify whether the drawing shows individual bolts and rubber pieces, a single serpentine wire grid, claw-shaped fingers, or gear-like teeth between the hubs. • Verify if there is an outer cylindrical sleeve around the coupling element – some coupling types require this, others do not. • Match the exact cross-sectional shape in the illustration (straight lines vs curved claws vs round bolts vs tooth profiles) with the textbook sketch of each coupling type before choosing.
