Description
A 5x8mm flexible shaft coupler is a mechanical device made of aluminum that connects a 5mm shaft to an 8mm shaft, compensating for misalignment and absorbing vibration to transmit torque smoothly. Its key features include a flexible, helical-cut design that allows for radial, angular, and axial compensation, and a simple, durable construction with set screws for secure attachment to the shafts.
Features
- Flexibility: Accommodates radial, angular, and axial misalignments between the two shafts through its flexible design.
- Vibration and shock absorption: The helical cut acts like a spring, absorbing vibration and sudden shock loads to protect the system.
- Zero backlash: The design is often torsionally stiff, meaning it has zero backlash and is suitable for precision applications like 3D printers and CNC machines.
- Secure attachment: Secures to the shafts using set screws or other clamping mechanisms.
- Durability: Made from aluminum alloy for a long service life
