Abstract
The invention relates to a compensating coupling for transmitting torques, comprising a sleeve-shaped main body (1) that extends in a longitudinal direction (z), which sleeve-shaped main body has several transverse slits (2) distributed over the circumference and in the longitudinal direction (z), wherein the transverse slits (2) each extend in the radial direction from an outer surface to an inner surface of the sleeve-shaped main body (1). According to the invention, the transverse slits (2) are filled with an elastomer (4).
Claims14
A compensating torque-transmitting coupling comprising:
- a tubular base body extending in a longitudinal direction and having a plurality of angularly spaced transversely extending slots also spaced in the longitudinal direction fir, the transverse slots each extending radially from an outer surface to an inner surface of the tubular base body;
- and
- an elastomeric body filling each of the transverse slots.
A method for producing a compensating coupling having a tubular base body extending in a longitudinal direction and having a plurality of angularly spaced transversely extending slots also spaced in the longitudinal direction, the transverse slots each extending radially from an outer surface to an inner surface of the tubular base body, the method comprising the steps of:
- supplying a tube section,
- forming the transverse slots in the tube section to produce the multi-slotted base body,
- providing connecting collars at ends of the tube, and
- filling the transverse slots with an elastomer.
