Abstract
A global shaft coupling assembly includes first and second hubs adapted to be mounted on first and second shafts to be coupled. The first and second hubs each include a plurality of groups of axially-spaced and axially-aligned apertures. The coupling assembly also includes a pair of composite members positioned around the shaft ends. The composite members include first and second sleeves each having a plurality of groups of apertures. Various ANSI and ISO standard shaft spacings may be obtained by aligning the various hub and sleeve apertures and fastening the hubs and sleeves together with cap screws.
