ABSTRACT:
A flexible coupling comprised of one or more flex frames connected in series between end fittings has the legs of its flex frames so dimensioned as to provide the coupling with a uniform bending stiffness with respect to bending moments in planes at all angles to the rotational axis. This is achieved by having each flex frame itself be of uniform bending stiffness with the other coupling components designed so as to have substantially no influence on the coupling's bending characteristics, or by using in the coupling at least one "compensator" flex frame specifically dimensioned to have a non-uniform bending stiffness compensating the non-uniform bending stiffnesses of the other coupling components.
