ABSTRACT:
A shaft coupling system for accommodating axial displacement and angular misalignment between two shafts. A hollow bushing is force fit into the hollow end of a first shaft. The bushing is provided with a plurality of part-circular recesses on its inner surface. A spline adapter is slip-fit onto a second shaft. The spline adapter cooperates with the bushing, and has spline teeth extending from its outer surface which are substantially boat-shaped. The shape of the teeth allows for extra clearance at the ends of the coupling system, which is necessary to accommodate angular misalignment. The bushing is made of readily replaceable and relatively inexpensive plastic materials.
