Abstract:
An elastic shaft coupling used as a transmission element comprising:at least one torsion element comprising: at least one elastically deformable elastomer body having a force input side and a force output side; and at least two axial connection flanges coupled in a fixed manner to said at least one elastically deformable elastomer body on said force input side and said force output side; wherein a torque is transmitted exclusively via rubber material of said at least one elastically deformable elastomer body; wherein an axial width of said at least one elastically deformable elastomer body increases radially from the inside to the outside, and at an outer radial zone of maximal extension said axial width of said at least one elastically deformable elastomer body increases radially more than proportionally; wherein said at least two axial connection flanges are chalice- or bell-shaped in a continuously sweeping form relative to one another in an interface formed by said at least one elastically deformable elastomer body and said at least two axial connection flanges.
