ABSTRACT:
A clutch for rigid but releasable connection of two coaxial parts of construction, preferably rotating shafts, having flanges centrally arranged at their proximate shaft ends, in which torque is transmitted by a frontal spur or cog gear. Both flanges are clasped by tension sleeves by means of radially protruding collars. The axial force arises by shrinking the tension sleeves which, in a heated condition, are radially positioned on the flanges. An advantage in connection with Cardan joints is that the external diameter of the clutch is no larger than a cross joint or universal, which can transmit the same torque.
