Rotationally elastic coupling

摘要

The rotationally elastic coupling makes possible the utilization of large twist angles between the two half couplings by converting the relative twist of the two half couplings into a radially directed translation by means of an eccentric link, a crank link or another appropriate movement-converting link which converts a rotational movement into a translation; the radially directed translation has an effect in the radial direction on sprung elastic intermediate links. The rotationally elastic coupling is particularly suitable for application in motor vehicle clutches and as a suppressor.
