lathe
In Lathe stepped pulley drive is used for obtaining different spindle speeds
It can engage and disengage driving and driven shafts as a normal operation
A coupling is a device used to connect two shafts together at their ends for the purpose of transmitting power. The primary purpose of couplings is to join two pieces of rotating equipment while permitting some degree of misalignment or end movement or both.
muff coupling
Muff coupling is a long cylindrical coupling bored and keyed to fit over both shafts.
fluid coupling
A fluid coupling or hydraulic coupling is a hydrodynamic or 'hydro-kinetic' device used to transmit rotating mechanical power. It has been used in automobile transmissions as an alternative to a mechanical clutch.
universal coupling
A universal joint is a joint or coupling connecting rigid rods whose axes are inclined to each other, and is commonly used in shafts that transmit rotary motion. It consists of a pair of hinges located close together, oriented at 90° to each other, connected by a cross shaft.
