ABSTRACT:
A drive shaft and coupling adapter assembly for connecting multiple rotary machines to be driven in tandem in a predetermined direction by a single source of power having a rotating power take-off, each machine having a housing with aligned shaft bearings, and further including a common machine support disposed opposite the power take-off; a coupling adapter having a bore extending therethrough and one end of the bore having female screw threads therein and the other end of the bore being shaped to couple to the power take-off; and a drive shaft for each of said rotary machines, each shaft having a first end having male threads capable of engaging another shaft or the coupling adapter, and each shaft having a second end having female threads capable of engaging the male threads of another shaft, and each shaft being mounted in a machine and the shafts of the multiple machines being disposed in axial alignment and being screwed together to form a composite shaft and being screwed to said coupling adapter, and the machine support having multiple locations for supporting either the machine housings or a bearing block which carries the outer end of the composite shaft.
