Full titles differ between systems:

IPC:

Couplings for rigidly connecting two coaxial shafts or other movable machine elements > for attachment of a member on a shaft or on a shaft-end > with clamping hub; with hub and longitudinal key > with radial clamping due to axial loading of at least one pair of conical surfaces > using one or more elastic or segmented conical rings forming at least one of the conical surfaces, the rings being expanded or contracted to effect clamping

CPC:

Couplings for rigidly connecting two coaxial shafts or other movable machine elements (attachment of wheels to axles for railway carriages B60B; for attachment of cranks to their shafts F16C3/10) > for attachment of a member on a shaft or on a shaft-end (attachment of marine propellers on shafts B63H23/34) > with clamping hub; with hub and longitudinal key > with radial clamping due to axial loading of at least one pair of conical surfaces > using one or more elastic segmented conical rings forming at least one of the conical surfaces, the rings being expanded or contracted to effect clamping (F16D1/091 takes precedence)

IPC and CPC are identically structured here. All 3 subcodes exist in both systems.

IPC defines codes here since 2006.
