The invention relates to a coupling device for connecting a first shaft (10) to a second shaft (12) by means of two flanges (16, 18, 22, 24) that are meshed with one another, wherein the flanges are provided or designed with means (30, 32, 111, 211, 311, 317, 319, 321) of enabling the axial and/or radial relative adjustment thereof due to a misalignment of the shafts to be visually observed. According to one variant, at least one of the flanges or an element (20, 26) meshed with the two flanges is provided with at least one converter (50, 60, 70, 80, 90; 94) for generating an electrical signal and/or acoustic signal from a mechanical movement, wherein said converter is designed to generate the signal on the basis of a periodic movement of the flanges relative to one another, at least if the relative movement of the two shafts to one another, which occurs as the shafts rotate due to a misalignment of said shafts, exceeds a certain value. |
