Abstract
A gear coupling for a pair of rotatable shafts disposed in end-to-end relation, in which a pair of hubs is mounted on the shafts and sleeves are secured to the inboard side of the hubs and contain internal teeth. A spacer extends between the two sleeves and is provided with gear teeth at each end for meshing with the internal gear teeth in the sleeves. A separate plate is mounted on the inner end of each hub and an element is secured to each end of the spacer for engaging an annular shoulder inside each sleeve, for minimizing the end play of the spacer relative to the hubs and to eliminate or minimize the end play of one shaft by utilizing the stability of the other shaft to control the end play of the first shaft.
