Abstract

A coupling arrangement between a linear control element and a pivoting element, especially for an aerodynamic control surface of a guidable missile. The coupling arrangement has the pivoting element equipped with a pivot arm which extends radially from its axis of rotation, wherein the pivot arm is oriented transverse to the sliding or thrust axis of the control element which, in turn, is oriented transverse to the axis of rotaion, and in which the pivot arm stands in engagement with the control element.
