Default Coupling two AC Motors

Is it possible to couple two AC Motors?
For example if I have two Curtis 1238-7601 controllers. Can I use two AC Motors connect the shafts and give the torque to the transmission?
What would be the issues?
Didn't find anything.

Thanks

Two motors and two controllers shouldn't be an issue. Do you already have the motors and controllers?

I know there's stuff inside the controllers that allow dual controllers. I could look into it for you.

HPEVS "siamesed" two AC motors, (sandwiched two motors together in one frame) and used two curtis controllers.
