Analogy

Imagine a car engine and its transmission system. The couplings can be compared to the gears that connect different components of the system. Just like different gears serve different purposes, different types of couplings serve different purposes in machine design. The design of couplings ensures smooth and efficient transfer of power and torque between components, just like gears ensure smooth and efficient transfer of power in a car engine.
