Abstract

A coupling to balance radial movement and axial displacement between a first and second half-coupling, with an unsupported intermediate member which is connected via two connecting rods with the first half-coupling on one side and via another two connecting rods with the second half-coupling, the intermediate member consisting of two releasably interconnected arc-shaped half-members (11,12), the end sections of the half-members (11,12) overlap at the periphery and are held together in the two overlap regions (19) by two aligned axial drillings (15,17) to take the bolts (29,30,35,36) securing the connecting rods. In addition, each half-member (11,12) is cut from sheet-steel and at least both their two end sections are arranged in the same plane. This provides a heavily loadable coupling with extremely simply made half-members (11,12) which can easily be fitted and dismantled.
