Oldham clutch invented in 1821 by John Oldham
The cam-disc clutch or Oldham mechanism is a method of transmitting torque between two parallel but not coaxial shafts.
The mechanism consists of three discs, one connected to the input shaft, one connected to the output shaft, and the middle disc connected to the other two by a shoulder-to-hollow connection.
