The principal feature of the Baumann Flex coupling is the multi-layer
and multi-coil spring assembly, which is brazed firmly to the end pieces
designed either as collars, flanges or hubs. The coupling serves
primarily to take up inaccuracies of alignment between two rotating
shafts; it provides torsional flexibility in the coupling of such shafts
and dampens vibration. Its effectiveness is largely independent of the
direction of rotation, as in one direction the outer and inner
counter-coiled spring layers work together to transmit the load, while
in the other direction, the middle layer comes into operation.
