In a shaft coupling comprising a pair of complementally shaped, detachably joinable coupling sleeve halves (11, 12) which can be clamped together by means of clamping elements form a split coupling sleeve provided with at least one seat (14) for a first shaft member (A1) which is to be non-rotably connected with a second shaft member (A2, A2') so that the first and second shaft members are aligned. In a retaining device including retaining elements for positive locking the first shaft member (A1) against rotational movement relative to the coupling sleeve, the retaining elements include a plurality of elongate force transmitting elements (16D) in the seat (14, 15). These elements extend along a line including an angle with a plane (L) perpendicular to the axis (C3) of the coupling sleeve and are shaped so as to be in interlocking engagement with complemental force transmitting elements (A3D) on the first shaft member (A1). The force transmitting elements in the seat comprise a first group (16A) and a second group (16B) of the force transmitting elements (16D) and the angle in the first group is different from that in the second group. Preferably, the retaining elements are formed by internal and external screw-threads on respectively the seat (14) and the shaft member (A1). 17 claims, 8 figures |
