An elastic coupling, in particular an elastic shaft coupling, includes a metallic outer part, a metallic inner part and elastic buffers arranged so as to be spaced apart between the outer part and the inner part. The outer part includes radially inwardly projecting elevations which define buffer contact surfaces and the inner part includes radially outwardly projecting elevations which define buffer contact surfaces. In order for the elastic coupling to allow for gentler startup and an operating behaviour optimized in terms of rotary oscillation in comparison with conventional couplings of this type. The elastic buffers are arranged in at least two groups which are radially spaced apart. At least one annular intermediate part is arranged between the adjacent buffer groups and is connected torsionally to both the outer part and to the inner part via the elastic buffers. |
