Why Maldives needs flexible couplings
The Maldives imports almost everything it uses, with tourism and construction driving most demand. Goods arrive at Malé and move to the atolls on feeder vessels.
Couplings absorb shock and misalignment between motors and driven equipment; their rubber elements and gear teeth wear and are replaced during planned shutdowns.
