Abstract

A coupling member for incorporation in a torque-transmitting drive train comprises a tube and at least one flange at at least one end of the tube. The tube and flange consist of fiber-reinforced plastic. In order to permit a simpler manufacture and an improved selection of strength and load-carrying properties in adaptation to different conditions of use, the tube and the flange are separately prefabricated and are adhesively joined to and by a sleeve.
