Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A gear coupling for connecting a drive shaft and an output shaft includes a first coupling portion adapted for connection to the drive shaft and a second coupling portion adapted for connection to the output shaft, Each of the first and second coupling portions has a driver toothing with an internal toothing and an external toothing in engagement with the internal toothing. An intermediate tube made of an electrically insulating material connects the first and second coupling portions with one another and electrically insulates the first and second coupling portions from one another. One of the first and second coupling portions surrounds an inner periphery of the intermediate tube and the other one of the first and second coupling portions surrounds an outer periphery of the intermediate tube.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A gear coupling for connecting a drive shaft and an output shaft, said gear coupling comprising: a first coupling portion adapted for connection to the drive shaft and having a driver toothing with an internal toothing and an external toothing in engagement with the internal toothing; a second coupling portion adapted for connection to the output shaft and having a driver toothing with an internal toothing and an external toothing in engagement with the internal toothing, said first and said second coupling portions being manufactured from a metallic material; and an intermediate tube made of an electrically insulating material and configured to connect the first and second coupling portions with one another and to electrically insulate the first and second, coupling portions from one another, one of the first and second coupling portions surrounding an inner periphery of the intermediate tube and the other one of the first and second coupling portions surrounding an outer periphery of the intermediate tube. 2. The gear coupling of claim 1 , wherein the intermediate tube is made of fiber-reinforced plastic. 3. The gear coupling of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the first and second coupling portions has a hub for arrangement on the drive shaft or output shaft. 4. The gear coupling of claim 1 , further comprising a detachable connection configured to divide at least one of the first and second coupling portions in a first part, which comprises the driver toothing, and a second part, which adjoins the intermediate tube. 5. The gear coupling of claim 1 , wherein one of the first and second coupling portions is divided into two parts, each said part including a flange, and further comprising a screw fastener configured to detachably connect the flange of one of the parts with the flange of the other one of the parts. 6. The gear coupling of claim 1 , wherein each of the first and second coupling portions has a hub for arrangement on the drive shaft and the output shaft, respectively.
