  • Flexible Coupling Assembly with Embedded Torque Transmitting Elements
    Publication number: 20110130209
    Abstract: A flexible coupling element for connecting two shafts in a coaxial alignment has a resilient member with an inner surface and an outer surface. The resilient member inner surface has a plurality of notches adapted to receive connection members projecting axially from respective ends of the shaft. The resilient member has a plurality of torque-transmitting elements disposed between the notches. The torque-transmitting elements are more rigid than the resilient members, thereby allowing the torque to be transmitted between the two shafts in the event the flexible element fails.
