The transmission system uses a bogie mounted traction motor ( one per axle ) connected to the wheelset via a hollow shaft drive and flexible coupling, traction forces are tranmissed by low-lying rods connected to the bogie frame.

In the Scout and Wasp the main rotor drive is taken from the front of the gearbox and is transmitted beneath the gas generator via a flexible coupling, while the drive for the tail rotor is taken from the rear of the gearbox.

There are two types of grooved coupling; a flexible coupling allows a limited amount of angular movement, and a rigid coupling does not allow movement and may be used where joint immobility is required ( similar to a flange or welded joint ).

The turbine consisted of hollow nickel steel blading on a forged steel turbine wheel which drove the compressor via a hollow shaft and flexible coupling . the inner compressor drum was driven directly but a reduction gearbox drove the outer drum at half speed.

A " "'giubo " "'(; etymology : giunto Boschi ), also known as a "'flex disc "', and sometimes misspelled as "'guibo "', is a flexible coupling used to transmit rotational torque between the drive shaft and the companion flange on mechanical devices, such as an automobile engine.

For example, Vulkan Kuppling, a German manufacturer of flexible couplings moved the Calcutta High Court successfully over Samir Bose, whose company ESBI Vulkan Pvt Ltd registered the'Vulkan'brand in its name and was selling its products under the label even after the collaboration agreement between Bose and the German company had expired.

It acts on the fork imparting a sliding motion to the propellor shaft . A ball bearing takes the thrust between fork and the shaft . A long propellor shaft runs from the clutch to the gearbox's first motion shaft . This propellor shaft carries a flexible coupling and is splined to allow longitudinal movement together with the clutch.

Solomon Dresser created a " packer ", using rubber for a tight fit, and after taking out a patent on May 11, 1880, he began advertising and selling his product, the " Dresser Cap Packer ", from flexible coupling, the " Dresser Joint ", that he built in 1885 to join pipes together in such a way that they would not leak natural gas.
