Abstract
The shaft coupling has a pair of parallel sheetmetal membranes which are fixed together at their outer periphery and at their inner peripheries and are connected by respective sets of connectors to a hub and a formation which can be connected to another shaft. The connectors can include clamping bushes which have their heads or shoulders between the membrane and are engaged by clamping screws extending into the bushes from the exterior so that between the membranes, only the thickness of a shoulder is provided along the inner periphery. A highly compact shaft coupling can be obtained in terms of axial dimensions.
