Abstract

A flexible coupling element for a shaft arrangement for articulated connection of two shaft sections. The flexible coupling element has a plurality of bushings, at least one primary loop bundle a support arrangement arranged on at least one bushing for axial guidance of the at least one primary loop bundle, and an elastic cover. The at least one primary loop bundle, the at least one support arrangement and the plurality of bushings are embedded at least partially in the elastic cover. With this flexible coupling element, it is also provided that the at least one primary loop bundle is wrapped around two neighboring bushing pair Neighboring bushing pairs are joined together by means of at least one secondary loop bundle which is secured separately on the at least one support arrangement.
