<p>The invention relates to a flexible coupling (4) for coupling a drive shaft and a driven shaft, comprising: an axial coupling structure (7) having a central longitudinal axis (ZC) that during use can be substantially aligned with the rotational axes of the drive shaft (3) and the driven shaft (6,52), the axial coupling structure extending along the central axis and comprising two axially opposing ends (8a, 8b), wherein one axial end can be connected to the drive shaft and the opposing axial end can be connected to the driven shaft, wherein at least one of the axial ends is provided with a torque transmission structure (10,30) for, during use, transmitting torque from the drive shaft to the axial coupling structure, or for transmitting torque from the axial coupling structure to the driven shaft, respectively, whereby the torque transmission structure (10,30) comprises an arrangement of fiber strands (20) configured in such a way that at least part of the torque is transmitted via that arrangement of fiber strands. Another aspect of the invention relates to an assembly of a flexible coupling (4), comprising a drive shaft (3) and a driven shaft (6,52), wherein the coupling is connected to one end of the drive shaft and one end of the driven shaft, the central axis of the axial coupling structure being substantially aligned with the rotational axes of the drive shaft and the driven shaft, as to transmit torque from the drive shaft to the driven shaft.</p> |
