A shaft locking device (2) enables torque applied to a drive shaft (8) to be transmitted to a driven shaft (10) via a one-way transmission system (6). Any torque applied directly to the driven shaft (10) is not transmitted via the one-way transmission system (6) to the drive shaft (8). A part of the locking mechanism (20) in the one-way transmission system (6) is formed from a compressible resilient material thereby to damp contact between components and hence enable a quiet locking device (2) to result.
