ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to Flexing-Disk Couplings that permit moderate angular and axial displacements between two rotating parts connected thereby. They contain a plurality of adjacent disks operating in parallel. Each disk transmits only a portion of the total torque. To keep the several disks acting in a similar manner, their outer ends at least are connected with one of said parts through yielding rubber-like layers, permitting said disks to slightly move out or in relatively to each other. This avoids high stresses when said parts tilt with respect to each other. The use of several disks in parallel permits to increase the load capacity or reduce the coupling diameter and weight.
