Advantages:

Protects driven component by serving as a mechanical “fuse” – an inexpensive replaceable plastic midsection shears under excess load
Protects support bearings by exerting consistently low reactive forces, even under large misalignments
Homokinetic transmission – driving and driven shafts rotate at exactly the same speed at all times
Zero backlash and high torsional stiffness
Electrical insulation
Accommodates large radial misalignment in a short length
Easy installation in blind or difficult installations when through-bores are used
Economically priced compared to other couplings with similar performance characteristics
Inexpensive replaceable wear element
Low moment of inertia

Disavantages:

Accommodates a relatively small angular misalignment

Typical Applications:

Printing and copying machines; robotics and servo applications
