Abstract
The present invention contemplates a face coupling, and contemplates a gas turbine engine having a face coupling. The face coupling includes a plurality of driving teeth extending from a first component, and a plurality of driven teeth extending from a second component. The plurality of driving teeth and the plurality of driven teeth cooperate to transmit a torque load from the first component to second component. The plurality of driven teeth include a root transition for preventing a driving tooth tip edge from contacting an adjacent driven tooth.
