ABSTRACT:
A flexible shaft coupling in which the torque transmission takes place by way of elastomer shackles between the two shafts to be coupled. The coupling components in the form of separate anchoring plates are all arranged in a single radial plane of the coupling, whereas the radially outward-pointing elastomer shackles are mounted to enclose the coupling. For predetermined torques to be transmitted, this design allows minimal outside dimensions of the flexible shaft coupling, as a result of which these couplings are especially applicable to wheel driveshafts of motor vehicles.
