FLEXIBLE PROTECTING CENTRIFUGAL COUPLING Russian patent published in 1998 - IPC

FIELD: mechanical engineering. SUBSTANCE: flexible protecting centrifugal coupling has parts whose external surfaces are wavy in the cross-section and rubber and steel belts built into the parts and connecting them. The coupling also has a spiral spring with a great number of coils. The end face surfaces of the parts are wavy and internal surface of the end face projection are spherical. The coupling has nonlinear flexible characteristic and great damping capability. EFFECT: improved design. 3 dwg
