DEVICE FOR IMPARTING SHAFT-TO-SHAFT ROTATION Russian patent published in 2000 - IPC

FIELD: mechanical engineering, particularly, coupling of rotating shafts. SUBSTANCE: device has intermediate shaft with membrane couplings at ends and longitudinal oscillation damper in the form of roller rigidly connected to external hub of one of couplings. Novelty of device is in that roller is coupled to intermediate shaft by means of two springs installed on roller in compressed state. Flange rigidly connected to intermediate shaft and provided with hole for passage of roller is clamped between springs. EFFECT: considerable unloading of coupling membranes. 1 dwg
