According to whether the coupling has elastic elements, whether it has the ability to compensate various relative displacements, that is, whether it can maintain the connection function and the purpose of the coupling under the condition of relative displacement, the coupling can be divided into rigid couplings, flexible coupling and safety coupling.

Rigid coupling can only transmit motion and torque, and do not have other functions including flange couplings, sleeve couplings, clamp couplings, etc.

Flexible without elastic elements can not only transmit motion and torque, but also have different degrees of axial, radial and angular compensation performance, including gear couplings, universal couplings , Chain coupling, slider coupling, diaphragm coupling, etc.
Flexible coupling with elastic elements can transmit motion and torque; it has different degrees of axial, radial, and angular compensation performance; it also has different degrees of damping and buffering effects to improve the working performance of the transmission system, including Various flexible couplings with non-metal elastic elements and flexible couplings with metal elastic elements. The structure of various elastic couplings is different, the difference is large, and the role in the transmission system is also different.

The safety coupling transmits movement and torque, and overload safety protection. Flexible safety couplings also have different degrees of compensation performance, including pin type, friction type, magnetic powder type, centrifugal type, hydraulic type and other safety couplings.
