Abstract
A dielectric insulating assembly arranged to be positioned between a drive shaft and a driven shaft of a motorised drive assembly. The assembly includes dielectric insulation between the drive shaft and the driven shaft and plurality of electrically non-conductive fastener elements configured to connect the drive shaft to the driven shaft and the dielectric insulation therebetween, in torque transfer engagement, the fasteners located around an outer boundary of the dielectric insulation.
Claims12
A dielectric insulating assembly arranged to be positioned between a drive shaft and a driven shaft of a motorised drive assembly, the assembly comprising:
- a disk of dielectric insulation between the drive shaft and the driven shaft;
- a plurality of electrically non-conductive fastener elements configured to connect the drive shaft to the driven shaft and the dielectric insulation therebetween, in torque transfer engagement, the fasteners located around an outer boundary of the disk of dielectric insulation;
- and
- fastener elements each comprise a tie having a loop at each end, the loop at one end configured to be attached and encircle, in use, to a pin on the drive shaft and the loop at the other end configured to be attached and surround a pin on the driven shaft.
