HIGHLY ELASTIC CLUTCH Russian patent published in 2009 - IPC F16D43/204 F16D3/52 

FIELD: machine building.

SUBSTANCE: invention is related to machine building, in particular to elastic clutches. Elastic clutch consists of master and slave half-clutches connected to each other by means of elastic damping elements. In opening of master half-clutch there are two carriers radially installed, to the ends of which rollers are fixed with the possibility of free rotation. Carriers are strutted with spring installed inside cavity, which communicates to atmosphere by means of throttling opening. Rubber race is pressed into internal surface of slave half-coupling, and its internal surface has elliptic shape, also there are thrust collars made on internal surface of race, rigidity of which is provided by metal plates. To prevent slippage of race in slave half-coupling, on its external surface there are spline ledges arranged.

EFFECT: reduction of dynamic loads transferred from slave shaft to master one, increased smoothness of effector operation, compensation of shaft axial displacements, and also suppression of torsion torque oscillations.
