ABSTRACT:
An assembly for connecting the output shaft of an electric motor or the like to the input of a gearbox or the like comprises a rigid housing having one side flanged to the motor and another side flanged to the gearbox. A rigid connecting sleeve is journaled in the housing and rotatable about an axis extending between the motor and the gearbox. A pinion meshing with the input of the gearbox has a short mounting shaft which is cemented into one end of the sleeve. The output shaft of the motor is keyed to a hub received in the other end of the sleeve. A plurality of matching outwardly open recesses on the hub are alignable with similar inwardly open recesses in the sleeve and connecting members each comprising a steel rod surrounded by an elastomeric layer are received in these recesses so as rotationally to link the hub to the sleeve. Misalignment of the motor output shaft with the input of the gearbox is therefore compensated for by these elastic connecting members.
