<p>The specification discloses six embodiments of a torque transmission coupling employing one or more pilot rings each of which has at least one precision-finished radially symmetric surface to align one or more laminar flexing elements in or on one or more complementary precision-finished radially symmetric surfaces on one or more hubs integral with or adapted to be connected to shafts for the transmission of rotary power. The preferred embodiments comprises a relatively inflexible torque transmission member, a laminar flexing element aligned with the torque transmission member at either and thereof via a pilot ring, and a hub aligned with each of the laminar flexing elements via a further pilot ring on the opposite side of the flexing elements from the first pilot ring, but embodiments are disclosed dispensing with the torque transmission member and with one of the pilot rings on each laminar flexing element.</p> |
