ABSTRACT:
A flexible coupling for connecting two rotatable components, for example driving and driven shafts, to transmit torque from one of the components to the other and also to accommodate relative axial movement between the components comprises at least one torque transmitting element having a pair of integral limbs each connected to a respective one of the components via a bearing. The limbs extend in a generally radial direction relative to the axis of rotation of the coupling so as to be fixed relative to one another in a circumferential direction for transmitting torque but allow rotation of each limb about the axis of the other limb to accommodate axial movement between the components.
