The invention relates to a flexible coupling, typically for use in a sugar mill. The coupling (10, 110) has a drive side yoke (12, 112) connected to a drive shaft at a transverse orientation relative to the drive shaft and a driven side yoke (14, 114) connectable to a driven shaft at a transverse orientation relative to the driven shaft. There is also a compression strut (16, 116) located between the drive and driven shafts, also at an orientation transverse to the drive and driven shafts. Drive connection means acts between the ends of the yokes and the ends of the compression strut so that drive can be transmitted from the drive shaft to the driven shaft via the drive connection means and the compression strut. In accordance with the invention, the drive and driven yokes each have a hub (18, 118, 24, 124) mountable to the respective drive or driven shaft and a pair of tubes (20, 120, 26, 126) radiating in opposite directions from the hub. |
