Zusammenfassung:A flexible coupling device (120) for a spinning or co-rotating scroll device (100) and associated systems and methods are provided. The coupling device may be configured to couple a first scroll (116) and a second scroll (118) of a co-rotating scroll device. Further, a first scroll shaft (112) of the first scroll and a second scroll shaft (114) of the second scroll are maintained in parallel misalignment by the coupling device. The coupling device may comprise a coupling ring (136) and a plurality of connecting members (138) extending from the coupling ring. Each connecting member includes a flexure arm (142) configured to elastically move or flex between a first flexed position and a second flexed position which contributes to maintaining the parallel misalignment between the first scroll shaft and the second scroll shaft.
