Shaft/hub connection element with elastic centering element

A shaft-hub connection for vehicles for use in drive technology comprising:

• a cylinder-shaped shaft component, which has a plurality of longitudinally extending elevations or depressions formed on an outer lateral surface thereof;
• and
• a hub component with a bore therethrough configured to receive the shaft component therein, the hub comprising a plurality of bending beams extending inwardly into the bore and substantially tangential to the outer lateral surface of the shaft component;
• wherein each bending beam comprises:
• a proximal portion connected to the hub,
• a distal portion opposite the proximal portion, and
• a medial portion therebetween,
• wherein a first surface is formed at each medial portion which engages with a respective one of the elevations or depressions on the outer lateral surface of the shaft component;
• and
• wherein a second surface is formed at each distal portion which deformably engages the outer lateral surface of the shaft component.
