Abstract:
1. A torsionally flexible coupling, comprising: an inner part having a rotating shaft; an outer part extending around the inner part and arranged coaxially with it; and a plurality of spring elements which are arranged between the inner part and the outer part and are spaced in circumferential direction; wherein each spring element is clamped at a radially outer end thereof in a clamping support on the outer part; wherein each spring element is at a radial inner end thereof flexibly engaged with a corresponding groove on the inner part; and wherein in position of rest of the torsionally flexible coupling the spring elements are each angled relative to a radial direction passing through the respective clamping support and inclined against the main direction of rotation of the coupling so as to provide a different torsion characteristic in the main direction of rotation and in the opposite direction.
