Type GV82 couplings are used as rigid connections for the low-speed shaft of a gear drive and a mixer shaft or suspended load. The coupling carries the torque load, weight of the shaft and impeller, thrust forces and resulting bending moments.

When a rigid coupling is required, the following additional information is necessary.

1. Required thrust capacity and direction of thrust.
2. Radial force at impeller.
3. Distance from the center of coupling fastener flange to the center of the impeller.
4. Weight of shaft and impeller
