Abstract:
1. A shaft coupling assembly comprising: a shaft including a shaft body and a shaft end; the shaft end including: a coupling element including: wherein the projection length is greater than an axial length of the channel intermediate the shaft receiving end and the fastener bore, such that with the shaft end inserted into the channel via the shaft receiving end, the leading end of the projection protrudes into the bore without engaging the leading interface portion of the shaft interface with the coupling interface; the projection having an upper surface characterized by a projection radial height defined relative to a longitudinal axis of the shaft; the fastener bore having a bore radial height defined by a bottom of the fastener bore and a longitudinal axis of the channel; wherein the projection radial height is greater than the bore radial height; wherein the projection radial height is less than a shaft interface radial height defined by the leading interface portion and the longitudinal axis of the shaft.
