Abstract: Coupling element for the axial transmission of torque, having at least a first and a second connection element for connecting rotatable machine parts, for example passive and active drive shafts or connection elements of further coupling elements, and an elastomeric multiple disc arrangement which is arranged axially in between and is connected via a plurality of fastening arrangements alternately to the first and second connection element, with the result that the connection elements are connected to one another in a torsionally rigid but axially and angularly movable manner. Moreover, a multiple disc arrangement for a coupling element of this type and a coupling arrangement comprising at least two coupling elements of this type are disclosed.
