This chapter presents information on commercially available products that accomplish these functions. The generic categories of keys,couplings, and seals actually encompass numerous different designs. A key is used to connect a drive member such as a belt pulley, chain sprocket, or gear to the shaft that carries it. Torque and power are transmitted across the key to or from the shaft. Seals may be difficult to see because they are typically encased in a housing or are covered in some way. Their function is to protect critical elements of a machine from contamination due to dust,dirt, or water or other fluids while allowing rotating or translating machine elements to move to accomplish their desired functions. Seals exclude undesirable materials from the inside of a mechanism, or they hold critical lubrication or cooling fluids inside the housing of the mechanism. 8. Describe several types of flexible couplings. 9. Describe universal joints. 10. Describe retaining rings and other means of locating elements on shafts. 11. Specify suitable seals for shafts and other types of machine elements.
