  • Patent number: 9097286
    Abstract: A coupling is provided for connecting two shaft sections in a damping manner, including a bushing arrangement having a radially inner bushing and a radially outer bushing, wherein the radially inner bushing can be coupled to a first shaft section and the radially outer bushing can be coupled to a second shaft section so as to transmit torque, wherein a damping layer is provided between the radially inner bushing and the radially outer bushing. The bushing arrangement can have a circumferentially wave-shaped contour, wherein the radially inner bushing and the radially outer bushing have shafts that mesh with each other, and wherein the damping layer is provided with axial openings, which extend reciprocally from both axial ends of the coupling into the damping layer so that damping blocks are formed at the axial ends of the coupling between the radially inner and radially outer bushings.

  • Publication number: 20110287846
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device (10) for transmitting torques while damping vibrations, particularly in a steering spindle arrangement, said device comprising a spindle connection part (12) for coupling to an end segment of a steering spindle, a damping bushing arrangement (16) that can be coupled to the spindle connection part (12), and a fork part (18) that can be coupled to the bushing arrangement (16) for transmitting torque. In this device, provision is made for the bushing arrangement (16) to be disposed between the spindle connection part (12) and the fork part (18), the bushing arrangement (16) having a first damping layer (60) made of elastomeric material for damping bending loads, and said bushing arrangement (16) having a second damping layer (62) made of elastomeric material for damping torsional loads.
