They are used to transmit power from one shaft to another shaft

FLANGE COUPLING
Rigid Couplings are used to connect two shafts which are perfectly in axial alignment
Flexible couplings are used to protect the driving and driven machines from effect of shocks, excessive stresses due to deflection and vibration which may arise from misalignment of shafts.

BRAKE
A brake is a device that decelerates a moving object such as a machine or vehicle by converting its kinetic energy into another form of energy, or a device which prevents an object from accelerating.
Most commonly brakes use friction convert kinetic energy into heat, but in regenerative braking much of the energy is converted instead into useful electrical energy or potential energy (in the form of pressurized air).
