🔍 Key Concepts

• Thermal expansion of shafts and gears in a main propulsion train • How flexible couplings absorb misalignment and transmit torque • Typical uses of a quill shaft in reduction gear design

💭 Think About

• When the main turbine and reduction gear heat up, what happens to their length and alignment, and what kind of device is needed so torque is still smoothly transmitted? • Which of these devices is specifically intended to allow for small angular or axial misalignment between rotating components while still keeping them mechanically connected? • Think about which option is a general transmission element inside the gear train versus which is designed primarily for flexibility and misalignment compensation.

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choices are primarily for torque transmission only versus those that also allow for flexibility/misalignment • Consider which device is normally used between the turbine rotor and the reduction gear, not deep inside the gear tooth train • Eliminate any option that does not normally provide flexibility to accommodate thermal expansion or slight shaft misalignment
