ABSTRACT:
The rotatable shaft assembly includes an elastomeric bushing which is provided in the space between an outer rotatable driven member and an inner rotatable driving member. The bushing transmits the rotation of the driving member to the driven member. Should the elastomeric bushing material fail or be subjected to excessive torque or axial force, a fail-safe washer transmits the rotation of the driving member to the driven member, and a retention washer prevents the axial disengagement of the driving member from the driven member.
