The elastic eight-shaped plastic 8 can be made of polyurethane and is formed into an eight-shaped structure by two circular rings with intersecting axes. The eight-shaped plastic coupling is an existing technology.

[0032] The outer circumference of sleeve 9 is provided with radial holes, which secure inner shaft 11 and drive shaft 1 via set screws 10. The center of inner shaft 11 is a shoulder 12, one end of which is fixedly and rotatably connected to encoder 2 and the other end is fixed to sleeve 9 of flexible coupling 7.
