Patent ID: 7037200

Claim:
A coupling arrangement comprising: a first clamping ring concentric with an axis of rotation; a second clamping ring oriented concentrically with the axis of rotation and grooved around its circumference; clamping bodies oriented radially between the clamping rings; at least the second clamping ring includes a bearing surface, which faces the clamping bodies, and includes radial, ramp-shaped projections, each of which are positioned between two neighboring clamping bodies; and the second clamping ring may be at least be brought into frictional contact with a machine part, and at least a first retainer and a second retainer are connected to one of the clamping rings in at least one longitudinal direction of the axis rotation, holding the clamping rings and the clamping bodies together longitudinally to the axis of rotation by the retainers and wherein the clamping rings are formed of sheet metal parts; wherein the retainers are spaced apart from each other in a longitudinal direction of the axis of rotation, and are fastened to a clamping ring in at least one direction longitudinal to the axis rotation; the retainers engage the other clamping ring by a segment thereof, and hold the clamping bodies longitudinally between them, at least partially; and wherein at least the first retainer is formed in one piece with the first clamping ring.
