<p>A generator assembly (6) includes a rotor (24), an accessory pulley drive shaft (36) operatively coupled to the rotor (24), and a flexible drive coupling member (40; 140) operatively coupling the accessory pulley drive shaft (36) and the rotor (24). The flexible drive coupling member (40; 140) includes a plurality of flex drive rings (64-66; 164-166) that are configured to transmit torque from the rotor (24) to the accessory pulley drive shaft (36) with substantially no torsional deflection while allowing the accessory pulley drive shaft (36) to deflect radially under radial load and deflect axially under axial load in order to accommodate misalignment of the accessory pulley drive shaft (36).</p> |
