DEVICE FOR JOINING SHAFTS Russian patent published in 1997 - IPC

FIELD: mechanical engineering. SUBSTANCE: intermediate shaft 1 connecting balancing machine 12 with motor 13 is provided with two slot ends 2 and 3. The first of the ends interacts with flexible clutch 4 to permit axial movement of the intermediate shaft without permission of its disengagement with it. Other slot end 3 interacts with floating slot bushing 7 mounted in disk 8 that allows the shaft to be disengagement with the bushing. Intermediate support 16 of shaft 1 is made up as ball bearing 17 the inner race 18 of which is fixed to the shaft by stop rings 19.
