A system and method for increasing a tooth shear strength without also increasing a torsional rigidity of a flexible sleeve disposed between two hubs of a flexible coupling for transmitting mechanical motion between two shafts includes attaching a stiffening caps to both ends of a flexible sleeve, between the flexible sleeve and the hubs.

Flexible sleeve coupling radial tooth support cap and method

A system and method for increasing a tooth shear strength without also increasing a torsional rigidity of a flexible spline disposed between two hubs of a flexible coupling for transmitting mechanical motion between two shafts includes attaching a stiffening cap to an end of a flexible spline, between the flexible spline and the hubs and inserting a plurality of dowels into the teeth of the flexible spline to reinforce the flexible spline.
