Abstract
A method of transmitting torque through a flexible coupling includes driving a first rotatable member with a second rotatable member, applying an axial force component to the a flexible coupling connecting the first rotatable member and the second rotatable member by changing an axial offset between the first rotatable member and the second rotatable member interconnected by the flexible coupling, reducing one or more of the axial force component and cyclic equivalent stress born by a flexible diaphragm body of the flexible coupling by axially shifting the first end of the flexible diaphragm body relative to one of the interconnected rotatable members, and affixing a splined member to a second end of the flexible coupling, wherein the flexible diaphragm body has an inner diameter that is greater than an inner diameter of the splined member.
