SHAFT AND SHAFT-HUB ASSEMBLY FOR TRANSMITTING TORQUE

摘要

The invention relates to a shaft (10) for transmitting torque. One end (13) of the shaft (10) can be inserted into the cavity (23) of a hub (22). According to the invention, said end (13) comprises a wider part (14) which is provided with one or more slots (15, 16, 17). Said slots allow for elastic deformation of said end (13). According to the inventive shaft-hub assembly, the diameter (D) of the end (13) of the shaft (10) is greater than the diameter (d) of the cavity (23) of the hub. The end (13) is therefore elastically deformed. The predominant inventive restoring force provides a slack-free connection between the shaft (10) and the hub (22) in the circumferential direction thereof.
