Some Aspects about Theoretical Static Rigidity and Experimental Static Rigidity of a New Elastic Coupling with Cylindical Bolts and Nonmetallic Elements

The elastic couplings are frequently used in mechanical transmissions design, to take over the radial, axial and angular misalignments and also to take over the shocks and the overloads that could appear. In this paper is presenting some aspects about the construction of couplings with bolts using non-metallic elements, e.g. rubber, having different hardness, the elements involved in torque transmission, in this case elastic elements, having also different dimensions or forms, in the way to have a good elasticity and capacity of vibration absorbtion, determining theoretical static rigidity and experimental static rigidity of a new elastic coupling with cylindrical bolts and nonmetallic elements and compare of results for these values.
