ABSTRACT:
A coupling for transferring torque and axial force from a first member to a second member. The coupling includes a first cylindrical member having an outer peripheral surface and an end portion and a second cylindrical member having a receiving end portion. The receiving end portion has an end face with a longitudinal bore in the receiving end portion for receiving the end portion of the first cylindrical member. The end portion of the first cylindrical member has a plurality of transverse keyways in the outer peripheral surface. The receiving end portion of the second cylindrical member has a plurality of transverse slots in the receiving end portion corresponding to the plurality of transverse keyways. A key is received in each transverse keyway and protrudes from each transverse keyway into the corresponding transverse slot. A retainer ring has a bore such that the retainer ring extends over the plurality of transverse slots of the receiving end portion of the second cylindrical member. The keys axially and non-rotatably connect the first member to the second member.
