ABSTRACT:
A shaft-coupling having two halves, each formed with at least two flat, sloping surfaces running at right angles to a load-transfer direction, each pair of sloping surfaces, facing each other on the two halves of the coupling, defining a space therebetween. Arranged in these spaces are sliding wedges each comprising two flat, sliding, surfaces facing away from each other and supported upon a pressure-element. In order to ensure that a shaft-coupling of this kind be suitable for large torsion-angles, absorb high torques and, in addition, has a small structural volume, a spring-element, adapted for the radial spring-action, is provided between at least one sliding wedge and the pressure-element.
