ABSTRACT:
A coupling device for a torque transmitting, longitudinally displaceable coupling of two shaft parts formed by toothed profiles is arranged to ensure backlash free meshing of the toothed profiles in the direction of rotation. An intermediate bush is provided between both shaft parts, which intermediate bush meshes with their toothed profiles and is slit like a collet at both bush end areas. A clamping and expanding members are respectively allocated on the shaft side to the slit bush end areas, which clamping and expanding members come into mesh with the shaft parts during coupling of the latter and, under the action of an axially directed contact force, avoid, by compression and expansion respectively of the slit bush end areas, flank clearance between the toothed profiles coming into mesh with one another.
