A one-to-one torque coupling includes a centre member, left and right side members, and a plurality of torque transfer elements. The centre member is disposed between the side members, has a main axis of rotation and includes a plurality of holes disposed about the main axis at a radius. The side members each have a common secondary axis of rotation that is parallel to and offset from the main axis. Each side member also includes a plurality of holes that are congruent with the holes in the centre member and are disposed about the secondary axis at the radius. The torque transfer elements extend through the holes of the centre member into the holes of the side members, and rotate about a third axis that is parallel to and disposed midway between the main axis and the secondary axis. The torque transfer elements transfer torque between the centre member and the side members through rolling contact between the torque transfer elements and the holes of the centre and side members. |
