<p>An elastomer coupling (20) and durability improving method, the coping including an outer member (40) including a leading contact face (38), and an elastomer component (30) including a driving elastomer contact face (41) opposing and adapted for operable unbonded contact with said leading contact face (38), the driving elastomer contact face (41) including a thin polyurethane coating (50). In another aspect, the elastomer coupling (20) has an elastomer member (30) preferably having a plurality of parallel-sided bonded lugs (47) having thin elastomer driving and following skins (46, 46') received in preferable line fit relationship in a plurality of parallel-sided recesses (44) formed in a preferably plastic outer member (40) for transmitting torques, accommodating slight parallel and angular misalignments, and isolating vibrations thereof.</p> |
