Flexible joint shaft coupling - has flexible connectors extended from triangular intermediate member to each end of shaft

摘要

The shaft coupling permits a buckling angle between the two shafts and comprises primary and secondary coupling halves connected to the two shafts. Between the halves are flexible connectors arranged for torque transmission. Between the two halves (10,12) is at least one intermediary component (50). The flexible connectors (58,88) extend circumferentially from the first coupling half to the intermediary component and from there to the second coupling half. The intermediary component (50) is composed of at least two separate parts and connectors for each direction of rotation are directed over one of these parts.
