Q021217

IEEE / ANSI

ANSI/IEEE Disconnected mechanical coupling form

This reference locates disconnected mechanical coupling in Autodesk's IEEE-oriented mechanical controls, coupling family. This indication identifies the disconnected state of a mechanical coupling. The driving and driven elements are represented without an engaged torque or motion-transmission relationship in this state. Either element can still have electrical connections. The public library uses Q021217 for its horizontal representation; this is a vendor block name, not an IEEE standards symbol number.

A distinction that matters

A disconnected coupling state is separate from the isolation of an electrical supply.
