Patent ID: 8784219

Claim:
A coupling for connecting a drive to a load, the coupling comprising: an input connector that defines an input rotation axis and is provided with a plurality of input attachment points that all lie on a common radial plane of the rotation axis and that are radially equispaced from the rotation axis of the input connector; an output connector that defines an output rotation axis and is provided with a plurality of output attachment points that all lie on a common radial plane of the rotation axis and that are radially equispaced from the rotation axis of the output connector; and connecting elements that each have one end connected without length compensation and with at least two degrees of freedom to a respective input attachment point and an opposite end connected without length compensation and with at least two degrees of freedom to a respective output attachment point, each by a link joint, the radial spacing of the input attachment points from the input rotation axis and the radial spacing of the output attachment points from the output rotation axis being the same, the input attachment points and the output attachment points coupled to these input attachment points by a connecting element being angularly spaced relative to each other about the input rotation axis by 80° to 100°.
