A coupling includes left and right side members, and a centre member that is disposed between the side members. The centre member has a main axis of rotation, and includes holes disposed about the main axis at a radius. The side members each have a common offset axis of rotation parallel to and offset from the main axis. Each side member includes holes congruent with the holes in the centre member and disposed about the offset axis at the radius. Torque transfer elements extend through the holes of the centre member and into the holes of the side members. The torque transfer elements rotate about a third axis parallel to and disposed midway between the main axis and the offset axis, and transfer torque between the centre member and the side members through rolling contact between the torque transfer elements and the holes of the centre and side members.
