Abstract
A pair of coupling sections, preferably tubular halves, having radially extending flanges are provided with front faces adapted to abut each other. The coupling sections are joined by screw or other axially tensioned connecting elements passing through the abutting flanges, and at least the area of the contacting faces about the axially tensioned connection elements are provided with a layer of granular material.
Claims7
A coupling for rigidly connecting a pair of coaxial machine parts, comprising:
- a pair of tubular coupling sections each having radially extending flanges with each flange provided with a front face adapted to about said front face of said other flange;
- an axially tensioned connecting element extending through said front faces to connect said front faces and thus said pair of coupling sections;
- and
- a layer of granular material is positioned between said contacting front faces in the area of said axially tensioned connecting element, wherein one of said front faces has a recess for receiving said layer of granular material, and wherein said layer of granular material increases the friction force between said front faces.
