Page 1700 | 3.6 Moving, Transferring, Connecting with Shafts and Joints Couplings Technical Information / Definition of Terms Restoring force – Eccentricity When the shaft ends are installed in eccentric arrangements, the coupling constantly attempts to return to its neutral position. The resulting force is referred to as restoring force. If the couplings are installed with the lowest possible eccentricity, the resulting restoring forces are lower. This also red- uces the force acting on the shaft bearing. GN 2240 / GN 2241 GN 2242 / GN 2243 GN 2244
