Abstract

A coupling flange on a torque transmitting shaft or the like for coupling in face-to-face relationship with a counter-flange has at least two tooth systems on its coupling surface and each system comprising a plurality of substantially parallel axially projecting teeth having inclined flanks. At least one tooth in each tooth system has a different height, spacing or shape from the other teeth in the tooth system and the tooth systems are engagable with a complementary configuration on the counter-flange so as to connect nonrotatably the flanges.
