ABSTRACT:
An elastic coupling for transmitting torque from a driving shaft to a driven shaft and for damping torsional vibrations comprises packets of flexible leaf springs locked between a hub connected to one shaft and a clamping ring concentric with the hub. The hub and clamping ring define an annular chamber filled with a damping fluid. The packets of leaf springs extend radially and have outer leaf springs having a transverse cross section which tapers inwardly from an outer to an inner end. The outer leaf springs are so dimensioned that their maximum flexure is at least equal to the difference between the thicknesses of the outer and inner leaf spring ends.
