This flexible type motor coupling efficiently connects driving and driven shafts, eliminating misalignment to a great extent. The Aluminum Flexible Coupling Coupler Helical Shaft 5mm x 8mm has an outer diameter of 19mm and a length of 25mm, making it a machined aluminum coupling. The first bore diameter is 5mm, and the second bore diameter is 8mm. It features a spiral cut in the middle along its length, allowing flexibility to fit two shafts even if they are not perfectly co-linear, reducing binding effects.
The helical cut of the coupling acts like a spring in the X, Y, and Z linear axes, minimizing backlash and making it suitable for precision CNC work. Couplings like this transmit power and torque, protecting shafts against misalignment, shock loads, shaft expansion, and vibrations. While couplings typically do not allow shaft disconnection during operation, torque limiting couplings can slip or disconnect when torque limits are exceeded, offering protection to the shaft members.
By selecting, installing, and maintaining couplings carefully, significant savings can be achieved in reduced maintenance costs and downtime.
