block coupling
[/blɒk ˈkʌplɪŋ/]
nounpl: block couplings
acoplamento de bloco
1. A mechanical device consisting of two flanged hubs connected by a flexible or rigid block element, used to transmit torque between two shafts while accommodating misalignment
The block coupling connects the motor shaft to the pump shaft, allowing for slight angular misalignment.
O acoplamento de bloco conecta o eixo do motor ao eixo da bomba, permitindo pequeno desalinhamento angular.
2. In machinery, a type of flexible coupling that uses elastomeric or metallic blocks to absorb shock loads and vibration
Installing a block coupling reduced the vibration in the production line significantly.
A instalação do acoplamento de bloco reduziu significativamente a vibração na linha de produção.
Block couplings are commonly used in industrial manufacturing across Brazil and the United States. In Brazilian factories and automotive plants, particularly in São Paulo's industrial corridor, these couplings are standard components in machinery. The term is technical and primarily used by engineers, maintenance technicians, and machinery specialists in both English and Portuguese-speaking countries.
