A coupling device vertically couples one shaft which is substantially axially aligned to a second shaft. The device includes a flexible coupling unit attached to an end of one shaft, with a coaxial flange thereupon. The end of the second shaft has a concentric locating bore and a diameter. A split coupling is provided to the second shaft and includes two half flanges. Each half flange has a depending half cylindrical member attached thereto. A bolt extends through a diametrical through bolt hole provided in the end of the second shaft, and through a pair of bolt holes in the depending half cylindrical members, positioned such that the upper faces of the half flanges of the split coupling are substantially aligned with the upper end of the second shaft. Pilot flange is provided between the coaxial flange and the half flanges. The pilot flange has a center cylinder which is sized to match and to be received in the concentric locating bore of the second shaft. The flange portion of the pilot flange has tapped holes therein. Appropriately sized shoulder bolts are engaged in the tapped holes, and join the half flanges of the split coupling and the coaxial flange of the flexible coupling unit to the pilot flange. Pins are fitted into matching bores in the pilot flange. |
