ELASTOMERIC COUPLING HAVING CLAMP RING WITH FLANGES PROVIDING TORSIONAL STIFFNESS CHARACTERISTICS

A coupling transmits torque between shafts approximately aligned on a shaft axis. The coupling has a center axis approximately aligned with the shaft axis and a center element formed from an elastomer material. The center element has first and second axial sides. A clamp ring extends axially from ea...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A coupling transmits torque between shafts approximately aligned on a shaft axis. The coupling has a center axis approximately aligned with the shaft axis and a center element formed from an elastomer material. The center element has first and second axial sides. A clamp ring extends axially from each side of the center element along the coupling center axis. The clamp rings may include slots for fasteners for mounting the coupling to shaft hubs. The clamp ring has a flange portion embedded within the center element. Each clamp ring flange portion extends substantially away from the coupling center axis within the center element. An amount of extension away from the coupling center axis is selected to provide the coupling with a desired torsional stiffness characteristic. In accordance with a method, the coupling is formed by selecting the flange portions that will provide the coupling with a desired torsional stiffness characteristic. Organe d'accouplement transmettant un couple entre des arbres approximativement alignés sur un axe d'arbre. L'organe d'accouplement a un axe central approximativement aligné sur l'axe d'arbre et un élément central constitué d'un matériau élastomère. L'élément central possède des premier et second côtés axiaux. Une bague de serrage s'étend axialement depuis chaque côté de l'élément central le long de l'axe central de l'organe d'accouplement. Les bagues de serrage peuvent comprendre des fentes destinées à des éléments de fixation pour monter l'organe d'accouplement à des moyeux d'arbre. La bague de serrage possède une partie bride incorporée dans l'élément central. Chaque partie bride de la bague de serrage s'étend sensiblement loin de l'axe central de l'organe d'accouplement dans l'élément central. Un degré d'extension loin de l'axe central de l'organe d'accouplement est choisi pour offrir à l'organe d'accouplement une caractéristique de de rigidité à la torsion souhaitée. Conformément à un procédé, l'organe d'accouplement est formé par la sélection des parties brides qui offriront à l'organe d'accouplement une caractéristique de rigidité à la torsion souhaitée.
