Annular lammelae for an elastic shaft coupling

摘要

The coupling has coupling halves with connection flanges, which are connected together by a packet of ring plates (1) that are fixed against rotation and move axially and at an angle to each other. The plate packet is fixed to connection flanges by alternating peripheral fixing and clamp devices. The ring plate has four fixing bores (5) arranged evenly about a circle. The width of the ring plate section (6) between two sequential bores tapers. The plate has the geometrical ratios Dt/D1 = 10-12, D2/Dt = 1.1-1.2, Dt/B1 = 9-16 and B2/Dt = 0.88-0.93. Dt is the diameter of the circle containing the fixing bores. D1 is the diameter of the fixing bore. B1 is the width of the smallest part to he plate section between two sequential bores. B2 is the with of the ring plate outer contour. Independent claims are included for a plate packet with several ring plates and a flexible shaft coupling.
