Which of the following is another name for ‘clamp coupling’? Correct Answer Split muff coupling

Explanation:

The couplings are used to:

  • Connect two shafts together, in order to transfer rotary motion from one to another.
  • provides slip-free drive
  • compensate for slight misalignment between the two shafts and provide for axial movement along their axis.

Types of coupling:

Safety or slip type coupling: A safety coupling is self-disengaging when the torque is higher than the friction generated by the spring and jaw.

Plate coupling: When shaft ends can be brought into perfect alignment, such shafts can be coupled together by means of a plate coupling. The shaft cannot be shifted in the axial direction.

Clamp coupling: This coupling is built up of two parts which are placed over the connecting ends of the shafts. The clamp coupling joins two shafts when they are in alignment, and this coupling does not permit any movement of the shafts. It is also known as Split muff coupling.

Universal Coupling: It allows positive transmission of power at larger angles than is permissible with a flexible coupling.

Hydraulic coupling: The hydraulic coupling or fluid coupling is a hydrodynamic device that is used to transfer rotational power from one shaft to another by the use of transmission fluid. Hydraulic coupling is the device used for transmitting the same torque to the driven shaft.

Eight north Indian Ocean countries, namely, Bangladesh, India, the Maldives, Myanmar, Oman, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Thailand, were asked to contribute names so that a combined list could be compiled. Each country gave eight names and a combined list of 64 names was prepared. This list is currently in use, and all cyclones arising in the north Indian Ocean are named from this list, with one name from each country being used in turn. Almost 38 or 39 names from the list have been used up, but since many cyclones dissipate long before they hit land, their names rarely figure in the papers or other media. The names that people do know about, and remember are, naturally, those that were most destructive ones, or very recent. Aila, in 2009 is remembered with a shudder for the enormous destruction it caused in West Bengal and Bangladesh; Phaillin, also for the damage it caused when it hit the Odisha coast in 2013. Two harmless cyclones, which also might remain in peoples memory, are the more recent ones of 2014 — Hudhud, which threatened the east coast of India and Nilofar, which was expected to, but did not, devastate the western coast. The names in the cyclone list are usually words one associates with storms; words which mean water or wind or lightning in various national languages. Sometimes they are names of other things — birds or flowers or precious stones. The name Aila, contributed by the Maldives means fire, the name Phaillin from Thailand means sapphire, the name Hudhud from Oman is the name of a bird, probably the hoopoe, and the name Nilofar, given by Pakistan, is the Urdu name of the lotus or water lily. The eight names suggested by India, and which are in the list of 64, are Agni, Akaash, Bijli, Jal, Leher, Megh, Sagar and Vayu, meaning in that order, fire, sky, lightning, water, wave, cloud, sea and wind. Five of these names (that is, up to Leher) have been used so far.
