Explanation:

Sleeve or Muff coupling:

  • It is also called the box coupling.
  • It is made of a sleeve or hollow cylinder, which is fitted over the ends of input and output shafts by means of a sunk key.
  • This coupling consists of a cast iron sleeve that is fitted over both shaft ends by means of keys. It is simple in design and manufacture and has a smooth exterior. But the disassembly is rather difficult.
  • This coupling is used with small diameter shafts only.
