  • Publication number: 20040105717
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a shaft-hub connection having an attachment flange and a clamping element, particularly a clamping ring, attachable thereto, by means of which the shaft end assigned to the attachment flange may be friction-locked to the attachment flange, with an interposed bushing which receives a slip torque. The present invention is based on the object of refining a device of the type initially cited in such a way that the lifetime of the attached components in the drivetrain is increased. This object is achieved according to the present invention in that the bushing is designed in multiple parts in the axial direction.

  • Patent number: 6471594
    Abstract: A flexible all-steel shaft coupling includes two connecting flanges (1, 2) and an intermediate piece (3, 3′) arranged between the connecting flanges, with a disk ring (4, 5) being arranged between each of the two connecting flanges and the intermediate piece; said disk ring being connected alternately to the respective connecting flange and the intermediate piece, by means of circumferentially-distributed studs (6, 7, 7′) and tension sleeves (8, 9), each comprising a radially protruding end stop, (13, 14), as well as spacer rings (10) held on the tension sleeves, so that the connecting flanges are interconnected so as to be torsionally rigid but with angular movement and axial movement; with each of the studs (6) connected to the connecting flanges being associated with only a single tension sleeve.
