Aluminum Flexible Coupling Coupler Helical Shaft 5mm x 8mm

The Aluminum Flexible Coupling Coupler Helical Shaft 5mm x 8mm is a versatile component designed to efficiently connect your driving shaft with the driven shaft, minimizing misalignment to a great extent. A notable advantage of this coupling is its minimal backlash, making it ideal for precision CNC work.

Crafted as a machined aluminum coupling with an outer diameter of 19mm and a length of 25mm, this flexible coupling accommodates a first bore diameter of 5mm and a second bore diameter of 8mm.

Featuring a spiral cut along its length, this coupling exhibits flexibility, allowing it to fit two shafts even if they are not perfectly co-linear. Such couplings are commonly referred to as Beam coupling, helical coupling, or Flexible coupling.

Key features of this flexible shaft coupling include its helical cut, providing spring-like behavior in the X, Y, and Z linear axes without introducing excess backlash. This characteristic makes it particularly suitable for precision CNC work.

A coupling, as a device transmitting power and torque, typically does not allow disconnection of shafts during operation. However, torque-limiting couplings exist to slip or disconnect when torque limits are exceeded. Through careful selection, installation, and maintenance of couplings, significant savings can be achieved by reducing maintenance costs and downtime.

Furthermore, flexible shaft couplings play a crucial role in safeguarding driving and driven shaft members against the adverse effects of misalignment, sudden shock loads, shaft expansion, vibrations, and other potential issues. The Aluminum Flexible Coupling Coupler Helical Shaft 5mm x 8mm stands out as a reliable and efficient solution for various precision applications.
