Articulated-bush coupling

摘要

The invention relates to an articulated-bush coupling for the flexible connection of, for example, a wheel-set axle of rail vehicles to a hollow shaft of a drive unit. The coupling is formed by two hubs which are connected to one another in a flexible manner by means of articulated bushes. The articulated bushes comprise a metallic inner part, an outer part, also referred to as a sleeve, and an elastomer ring vulcanized in between the inner part and the outer part. These couplings serve for flexible torque transmission and to support the drive unit.
