COUPLING AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURE

摘要

Connection element and method for manufacturing this connection element for a shaft comprising at least one free reinforcement resistant to tension. The drawn connection element with wedges or a pressure joint is characterised in that it comprises, in immediate proximity to the anchoring means (9), free wires of the tension- resistant reinforcement (3) and an elastomeric pad (7) traversed by the wires. The pad makes it possible to increase the impact resistance of the connection elements, and to obtain a better use of the shafts. …The invention applies to cables and to rigid or flexible pipes. ……
