The snake spring coupling is a mechanical device for transmitting torque and balancing vibration. It is composed of several curved spiral springs, which can allow certain deviation and axis misalignment in all directions. 

The snake spring coupling has the following characteristics and application fields:

1. High torque transmission capacity: The snake spring coupling can transmit high torque, which is suitable for equipment requiring large torque output, such as mechanical transmission systems and construction machinery.

2. High-precision transmission: The snake spring coupling has high transmission precision, and can realize torsional transmission without clearance and rebound, which is suitable for mechanical devices requiring high-precision transmission, such as CNC machine tools.

3. Longitudinal and axial deflection capacity: The snake spring coupling can withstand longitudinal and axial deflection, and is suitable for equipment with large axial deflection, such as chemical equipment and petroleum equipment.

4. Multi-dimensional motion compensation capability: The snake spring coupling can compensate motion in multiple directions, such as radial direction, axial direction, angular direction, etc., and is suitable for equipment requiring multi-dimensional motion compensation, such as gearbox and vehicle transmission system.

5. High seismic performance: The snake spring coupling has good seismic performance, can absorb and slow down vibration and impact, and is suitable for equipment requiring seismic performance, such as wind turbines and marine machinery.

6. Self-centering performance: The snake spring coupling can automatically center, and it can maintain good transmission effect even when the axes are misaligned. It is suitable for equipment with low requirements for axis centering, such as pumps and fans.

7. Long service life and convenient maintenance: The snake spring coupling has simple structure, long service life and convenient maintenance, and is suitable for long-term use and difficult maintenance equipment, such as large compressors and water pumps.

Snake spring couplings are widely used in many fields, mainly including:
