Abstract
A lubricated gear coupling for transmitting torque between an input shaft and an output shaft, comprising a first hub connected to the input shaft, the first hub comprising at least one gear tooth and a first raised edge, a second hub non-rotatably connected to the output shaft, the second hub comprising at least one gear tooth and a second raised edge, a sleeve gear comprising at least one gear tooth, wherein the first hub and the second hub are arranged within the sleeve gear, the gear tooth of the first hub and second hub corresponding with the gear tooth of the sleeve gear, wherein torque is transmitted from the input shaft to the output shaft with axial, radial, and angular movement occurring between the first hub and the second hub and, a draining means arranged on the sleeve gear, wherein the lubricant can flow through.
