Abstract
A torsionally stiff, flexible shaft coupling, an all-steel shaft coupling for transmitting torques between shafts. Shafts with mutually offset axes, having one or two packs of plates (5) which are places on clamping bushes (6) and are clamped on the latter, by a ring (4) in each case, against an end collar (6b) of the clamping bushes (6), the packs of plates (5) being clamped, by screws (2, 7) extending through the clamping bushes (6), alternately in the circumferential direction using the mutually opposite flanges (1a, 8a) of hubs (1, 8) to be coupled to one another, which of packs of plates, in order to achieve the object of increasing the displacement capability of the plates and thus simplifying the assembly and increasing the operational reliability, comprise a circumferential relief groove (4a) and (6a) in each of the rings (4) and/or the collars (6b) of the clamping bushes (6). Alternatively, the conical end of the clamping bush (6) is provided with a circumferential groove or flute (6d), which may assume various rounded shapes.
