ABSTRACT:
A shaft coupling which is torsionally stiff yet capable of being elastically bent having guides arranged between two coupling halves at right angles to the axis of rotation in the form of thin-walled plates. Their overlapping end sections assigned to one another being alternately fixed to the coupling halves between tightening washers. So as to reduce its stiffness under flexure, the front side nearest the plate of one tightening washer supported against the corresponding coupling half has a middle section running radially and intersecting the extended axis of rotation at least more or less obliquely, which passes over on both sides into flat zones extending at right angles to the axis of rotation, so that the middle planes of the plates running on both sides of the tightening washer lie in a common plane. The front side of the other tightening washer turned toward the said one tightening washer is, taking into consideration the plates to be tightened, formed equidistant at least in the region of the flat zones extending at right angles to the axis of rotation. The end sections of the plates are cranked according to the shape of the front sides of the tightening washers.
