Abstract: A drive train with a torsional vibration damper and a torsionally flexible coupling is described, with the torsional vibration damper comprising a damping mass on the driven side which is resiliently supported with respect to a part (1) on the drive side and the torsionally flexible coupling comprising a damping mass on the drive side which is resiliently supported with respect to a part (11) on the driven side. In order to provide advantageous constructional conditions it is proposed that the torsionally flexible coupling and the torsional vibration damper are assembled into a modular unit with a common damping mass for the torsional vibration damper and the torsionally flexible coupling.

Abstract: The invention relates to a compensating coupling for a drive connection of two shafts (1, 2) with a coupling sleeve (4) which is made of fiber-reinforced plastic and connects two face-side membranes (3) and consists of two sleeve sections (8) which are screwed together with each other via radially outwardly projecting connecting flanges (9), with the ring-disk-like membranes (3) forming in the region of their inner circumference a connecting flange (5) with pass-through holes (12) for fastening screws (14), which holes are arranged along a graduated circle, and with the membranes being integrally joined to the coupling sleeve (8) at their outside circumference.

Abstract: A coupling member (3) for the installation in a torque-transmitting drive connection comprises connecting parts (4, 5) for fastening to the driving and driven sides of the drive connection and an annular body (8) for torque transmission which is inserted between ring disks (6, 7) of the connecting parts (4, 5) and is made of an elastomer. In order to obtain a simple coupling member which can be influenced over wide areas concerning the transmission properties, the connecting parts (4, 5) are made of fibrous composite plastic and the elastomeric annular body (8) is molded onto the ring disks (6, 7) of the connecting parts.

Abstract: The description refers to a torsionally flexible coupling with an outer rim (5) flexibly rotatable against a hub (1). To create favorable construction features, it is suggested to provide at least one ring-like compound body (2) between the hub (1) and the outer rim (5), consisting of at least one spiral layer (3) of an elastomer, with the threads of this spiral layer (3) being connected shear-resistant with a tensionally elastic and flexible intermediate layer (4), filling the spaces between the threads. The elasticity of tension and of shearing of this intermediate layer (4) are smaller than that of the elastomer layer (3).

Abstract: A torsional vibration damper or torsionally elastic coupling comprises an inner portion, an outer portion, and radial leaf spring assemblies extending between the inner and outer portions. Each leaf spring assembly is clamped in a clamping area between adapters at one end of the leaf spring assembly and includes two leaf springs fixed to the outer portion at the one end and having their opposite ends engage in axial grooves of the inner portion. The two leaf springs protrude radially inwards from the clamping area up to the opposite ends engaged in the axial grooves and, to reduce wear phenomena and to improve the load-bearing capacity of the leaf springs for torque transmission, they define a free clearance of movement from the clamping area to the axial grooves.

Abstract: A torsional vibration damper or a torsionally elastic and vibration damping coupling (1) has radial spring elements (4) inserted between an inner portion (3) and an outer portion (2) for torque transmission and liquid-filled chambers (8, 9) communicating with each other via throttle gaps for damping purposes, where at the one end the spring elements (4) are clamped between adapters (5) in the outer portion (2) and at the other end engage in axial grooves (6) of the inner portion (3), and the chambers (8, 9) are separated from each other by the spring elements (4) on the one hand, and on the other hand by additional radial divisions (7) between adjacent spring elements (4), which divisions spare the throttle gaps (10).

Abstract: A coupling combination (1) consists of a compensating coupling (2) and a torsionally elastic coupling (3), where the compensating coupling (2) comprises a coupling member (4) with a middle tube portion (5) and two end-face diaphragm portions (6, 7) forming connecting rings (62, 72), and the torsionally elastic coupling (3) has an inner portion (10) and an outer portion (11) and between outer portion (11) and inner portion (10) has spring elements (12) for torque transmission.
