A coupling comprising two hubs (1) elastically joined to a hollow shaft (2), which surrounds the hubs, by six elastically resilient links (3) which are bolted alternatingly in an hexagonal pattern to a hub flange (10) and a shaft flange (20) at the ends of the coupling. This permits parallel and angular misalignments according to the cardanic principle while torque is being transmitted. Because the flanges lie in the same transverse plane, the coupling is protected against slipping in the event that the resilient link elements should fail. Because the links are externally mounted, they permit optimum cardanic motion. The hubs may be fitted inside the hollow shaft (short configuration) or they may bolted on so as to project beyond the ends of the hollow shaft (long configuration).
