History
of
Couplings
I.
EARLY
HISTORY
The
flexible
coupling
is
an
outgrowth
of
the
wheel.
In
fact,
without
the
wheel
and
its
development
there
would
have
been
no
need
for
flexible
couplings.
It
has
been
reported
that
the
first
wheel
was
made
by
an
unknown
Sumerian
more
than
5000
years
ago
in
the
region
of
the
Tigris
and
Euphrates
rivers.
The
earliest
record
we
have
dates
to
3500
B.c.
His-
tory
records
that
the
first
flexible
coupling
was
the
universal
joint
(see
Figure
1.1
),
used
by
the
Greeks
around
300
B.c.
The
Chinese
were
using
this
concept
sometime
around
A.D.
25.
The
father
of
the
modern
flexible
coupling
was
Jerome
Cardan,
who
in
the
sixteenth
century
invented
what
was
described
as
a
simple
device
consisting
of
two
yokes,
a
cross,
and
four
bearings.
This
joint,
the
common
ancestor
of
all
flexible
cou-
plings,
is
still
in
use
today
and
is
continually
being
upgraded
with
the
latest
technology.
Cardan
did
not
design
the
Cardan
shaft
for
rotating-
shaft
applications,
but
only
as
a
suspension
member.
