Abstract:
A torsionally flexible coupling having a rotational axis (1), comprising: a first ring (2) and a second ring (3, 4), which enclose each other at a radial distance, at least one ring-shaped first spring element (5) made of elastomeric material being positioned in the annular clearance (13) formed by the radial distance; and a belt pulley (7) being fastened, relatively having torsional flexibility, to at least one of the rings (2; 3, 4) with the aid of a second spring element (6) made of an elastomeric material, and being supported on at least one of the rings (2; 3, 4) at least in the radial direction with the aid of a sliding bearing (8, 9), wherein the sliding bearing (8, 9) is formed by a rubber layer (9) having at least two embedded sliding rings (8).
