TORQUE TRANSMITTING COUPLING

摘要

A specialized form of splined coupling is disclosed in which the mating surfaces are lobed. The configuration of the lobes is such that their radius varies continuously from a minimum to a maximum and back to the minimum. There are at least two such lobes on each shaft preferably occupying the entire periphery thereof and preferably spaced from each other around the periphery of the shaft by (360/N) DEG where N equals the number of lobes.
