ABSTRACT:
A link coupling is provided by the present invention for transmitting rotary motion and accommodating misalignment between a drive and driven shaft. The coupling consists of a plurality of flexing structures connected together, each of which consists of individual link elements joined together in an offset configuration to form a compact, relatively flat structure. Forces applied by any misalignment of the drive and driven shafts are accommodated primarily by flexure of the links.
