FLEXIBLE SHAFT COUPLING AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THE SAME

摘要

Provided is a flexible shaft coupling with excellent torque transmission performance and placement tolerance performance and high durability. A first elastomeric member (82) having a relatively high rubber hardness is circumferentially interposed between a first claw (32) of a first shaft coupling member (20) and a second claw (62) of a second shaft coupling member (50), and a second elastomeric member (84, 86) having a lower rubber hardness than that of the first elastomeric member is interposed between a surface portion (end surface) (30) of the first shaft coupling member (20) and the second claw (62) and/or between a surface portion (end surface) (60) of the second shaft coupling member (50) and the first claw (32).
