ABSTRACT:
A coupler assembly for connecting first and second shafts in axial alignment comprises a first and second stop members attached to the shafts adjacent their respective ends; a cylindrical body; anti-rotation devices on the cylindrical body for preventing the first shaft from rotating with respect to the second shaft; first and second caps; and threads on the inside of the caps cooperative with threads on the cylindrical body for drawing the first and second shafts together. The coupler assembly is adjustable to compensate for differences in axial positioning of the shafts, such as due to bearing wear in a drive train, but upon installation prevents axial displacement of the shafts, as well as prevents relative rotation of the shafts.
