Abstract: A coupling has input and output members interconnected by two-link coupling elements which are flexible in the plane of rotation by centrifugal force acting on them as the coupling rotates and by the torque transmitted. The coupling is soft over a range of speeds and torques.The input member is constructed from two metal spinnings welded together to form a housing which supports the pivot of each coupling element at both ends. The output member is similarly constructed with bushes welded on to support the pivot also at both ends. The pivots are axially free within limits increasing the axial misalignment capability of the coupling. A spring arrangement to buffer the links if they rapidly approach their stops is provided.
