A shaft coupling wherein a plurality of first grooves (10) in a direction Y are formed in a flange poriton (3) at an end of a prime mover shaft; a plurality of second grooves (12) in a direction X are formed in a flange portion (5) at an end of a follower shaft; a turning force transmitting member (14) is interposed between the flange portion (3) at the end of the prime mover shaft and the flange portion at the end of the follower shaft; the turning force transmitting member (14) is provided with a plurality of first sliding slat portions (16) slidably fitted in the first grooves and further provided with a plurality of second sliding slat portions (18) slidably fitted in the second grooves; the turning force transmitting member (14) is made of plastics; and the flange portion (3) at the end of the prime mover shaft and the flange portion (5) at the end of the follower shaft are made of metal. By use of this shaft coupling, the eccentricity and an angle of deviation between movements in a thrust direction of the prime mover shaft and the follower shaft can be satisfactorily accommodated, so that a high turning force can be transmitted smoothly with a low loss. <IMAGE> |
