Abstract
A coupling member (3) for the installation in a torque-transmitting drive connection comprises connecting parts (4, 5) for fastening to the driving and driven sides of the drive connection and an annular body (8) for torque transmission which is inserted between ring disks (6, 7) of the connecting parts (4, 5) and is made of an elastomer. In order to obtain a simple coupling member which can be influenced over wide areas concerning the transmission properties, the connecting parts (4, 5) are made of fibrous composite plastic and the elastomeric annular body (8) is molded onto the ring disks (6, 7) of the connecting parts.
Claims4
A coupling member for installation in a torque-transmitting drive connection between a driving part and a driven part, which comprises
- (a) connecting parts of fibrous composite plastic, the connecting parts having ring disks formed by membranes and fastened to the driving part and the driven part, respectively,
- (1) the ring disks forming an undulation in axial section and having a wall thickness tapering in a direction towards a free edge of the ring disks, and
- (b) an annular body of an elastomer inserted between the ring disks for torque transmission, the annular body being molded to the ring disks, the ring disks of the connecting parts molded to the annular body of an elastomer enabling the coupling member to be angularly, axially and radially displaceable.
