Answer to Question 1

(1) jaw and (2) rubber bushing.

Answer to Question 2

Compression inserts may be pinned, bolted, or molded to the coupling hubs. Shear type inserts are usually bolted or clamped to hubs. Compression types tend to work better for higher loads and shear type can withstand more misalignment and provides better shock absorbing abilities. In general, all elastomeric couplings compared to other types work better in applications where shock and vibration are a problem.
