Abstract
A flange connection for round waveguides achieves a high-accuracy coaxiality of two round mutually adjoining waveguides (1a, 1b) by means of a radially elastic centering ring (3). The flange connection comprises two independent flange rings (2a, 2b) which are in each case attached to one end of the waveguides (1a, 1b), in which arrangement they are attached so as to be undisplaceable in the axial direction for a construction of the flange connection but to be freely rotatable around the respective waveguide. According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the flange rings (2a, 2b) are constructed in such a manner that the flange connection can be joined in the manner of a bayonet lock.
