Abstract
A shaft-hub connection for transferring a torque between a shaft (1) and a hub (3) with the aid of at least one drive element (2). To enable a torque transfer which is practically resistant to wear, even under the effect of transversal forces, the contact surface between the shaft and the hub and/or between the shaft and the drive element and/or between the hub and the drive element is minimized in the axial direction thereof.
Claims24
A shaft-hub connection for transmitting a torque comprising:
- a shaft having an axial direction;
- a hub;
- and
