ABSTRACT:
A vibration and noise isolating coupling (11) for a rotating drive train uses a plurality of vibration and noise isolating modules (17) which are arranged circumferentially about the coupling (11) in two rows (21, 22). Each module consists of a plurality of rubber sheets separated by laminations. A pair of drive discs (13, 14) sandwich the modules (17), and a driven disc (15) is located between the two rows (21, 22) of the module (17). Force transmitted from the drive discs (13, 14) is transmitted through the driven disc (15) via the modules 17. The drive discs (13, 14) are compressed toward one another, thereby compressing the module (17) and consequently the rubber sheets within the module (17).
The arrangement provides the advantage of resiliently transferring rotating force to rubber components while maintaining the rubber in a compressed state and maintaining a power-transfer capability even if the rubber components are fully deteriorated.
