ABSTRACT:
A cardan joint is provided with a centering disk that is moveable relative to the intermediate coupling member. The invention also provides a centering disk including a plurality of tabs to support movement of the centering disk relative to the intermediate coupling member. The invention also provides a spring positioned in the centering disk to outwardly bias the ends of the shaft to maintain the contact between the shaft and the centering disk. The invention also provides means for biasing the centering disk relative to the intermediate coupling member.
