Abstract:
1. A coupling for connecting two shaft sections of a steering shaft for a vehicle steering system, in a damping manner, the coupling comprising: a bushing arrangement having, with respect to a central longitudinal axis, a radially inner bushing and a radially outer bushing, wherein the radially inner bushing can be coupled to a first shaft section and the radially outer bushing can be coupled to a second shaft section so as to transmit torque, wherein a damping layer is provided between the radially inner bushing and the radially outer bushing, wherein the bushing arrangement has a circumferentially wave-shaped contour, as viewed in the direction of the longitudinal axis, wherein the radially inner bushing and the radially outer bushing have intermeshing wave contours, wherein the damping layer is provided with axial recesses, which extend alternately from both axial ends of the coupling into the damping layer, so that damping blocks are formed alternately, as viewed in the circumferential direction, at the axial ends of the coupling between the radially inner and radially outer bushing, and wherein the axial recesses are enclosed by the material of the damping layer.
