A shaft coupling characterized in that a driving shaft side mounting member (6) is mounted on the outer circumferential surface of an end portion (2) of a driving shaft, that metal driving shaft side sliding members (10a, 10b) each having a sliding external surface which is parallel to the X-Z plane are mounted on the mounting member, that a follower shaft side mounting member (8) is mounted on the outer circumferential surface of an end portion (4) of a follower shaft, that metal follower shaft side sliding members (12a, 12b) each having a sliding external surface which is parallel to the Y-Z plane are mounted on the mounting member, and that a disc-shaped rotational force transmitting member (14) is disposed which is provided with through holes each having a sliding internal surface slidable relative to the sliding external surface of the driving shaft side sliding member, and through holes each having a sliding internal surface slidable relative to the sliding external surface of the follower shaft side sliding member. This shaft coupling makes it possible not only to accommodate eccentricity, deflection angle and movement in a thrust direction between the driving shaft side and follower shaft side so as to transmit a rotational force smoothly and with a small loss but also to simplify the construction, assembling and maintenance. |
