ELASTIC JOINT WITH HIGH RADIAL DAMPING AND PROGRESSIVE RESTRICTION OF RIGIDITY

摘要

Elastic joint, consisting of an outer tube (5) surrounding an elastic ring (7), the latter being joined to a solid shaft (1), characterised in that said elastic ring (7) is also joined to two stressing washers (6) which limit it and exert an axial prestress upon it when said outer tube (5) is crimped over their extreme faces, and in that a very small radial play is reserved, despite the existence of the prestress, between the outer surface of said elastic ring (7) and said outer tube (5), this play coming progressively into contact with the surface of cells (10) when the off-centring force exceeds a use range of great radial flexibility.
