Abstract
A torque transmitting coupling for an electric submersible pump equipment string. A torque transmitting coupling system includes a first adapter including a first inner diameter mated to a first shaft rotatable about a first axis of rotation, and a first splined outer diameter mated to a splined coupling inner surface, a second adapter including a second inner diameter mated to a second shaft rotatable about a second axis of rotation, and a second splined outer diameter mated to the splined coupling inner surface, the first and second splined outer diameter at least partially spherical such that when the first axis of rotation moves with respect to the second axis of rotation, at least one of the splined outer diameters rock along the coupling inner surface.
