<p>An elastomeric shear shaft coupling is disclosed for connecting two rotatable shafts (12, 14) in end-to-end relationship. The coupling includes hubs (16, 26) for mounting on the opposed ends of the shafts (12,14) and a flexible element (50) extending between the opposed hubs (16, 26). Clamping members (52, 54, 44, 46) and suitable fasteners (56) are used to secure the element (50) to the hubs (16, 26) for transmitting the torque developed by the driving shaft (12) to the driven shaft (14). The flexible element (50) has a bead (80) of harder material than the body of the element (50), disposed within or at the margins (58) of the element (50) in the locus of clamping, and is reinforced with a matrix of plies (60) or layers of a suitable fabric material.</p> |
