INTRODUCTION In numerous branches of industry the power transmission system components are exposed to high and time variable loads. One of dynamic duty reduction methods in the power transmission system is the application of metal couplings with torsional flexibility. Absolutely new construction dealing with above described questions is highly torsionally flexible metal coupling – a solution developed in the Institute of Mining Mechanization at the Silesian University of Technology in Gliwice[1, 2, 3, 4]. The torsionally flexible coupling is characterized by specific elastic and damping features, that are of crucial role in the power transmission system performance. It owes its properties to the change of r
