Abstract
A flexible shaft coupling demonstrates a high performance in transmitting torque and accommodating positional deviations, and is yet highly durable. A first elastomer member () having a relatively high rubber hardness is circumferentially interposed between a first claw () of a first shaft coupling member () and a second claw () of a second shaft coupling member (), and a second elastomer member () having a lower rubber hardness than the first elastomer member is interposed between a surface portion (end surface) () of the first shaft coupling member () and the second claw () and/or between a surface portion (end surface) () of the second shaft coupling member () and the first claw ().
