<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a driving connection mechanism for preventing the occurrence of variations in rotation, and to provide a driving device and an image forming apparatus. <P>SOLUTION: The driving connection mechanism is provided with: a rotational shaft transmitting torque to an object of rotation from the driving mechanism, a coupling provided on one end of the rotating shaft and connecting the rotational shaft and the object of rotation, a gear provided on the rotating shaft and transmitting the torque from the driving mechanism to the rotational shaft, a first bearing provided on the rotating shaft between the coupling and the gear, and a second bearing provided on the rotating shaft in a direction opposite from the first bearing viewing from the gear. A maximum deflection point in the rotational shaft when radial load is applied to the coupling on the rotational shaft and a support point for the gear on the rotational shaft are different. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT |
