Shaft coupling - 5 * X mm

Product Overview

• Flexible shaft coupling for connecting the motor shaft and the driven shaft
• Available in several bore diameters
• Compensates for angular and axial misalignment
• Elastomer element enables torque transmission without metal-to-metal contact
• Maintenance-free

Product Description

A flexible shaft coupling connects two shafts that are not perfectly aligned, transferring the motor’s torque to the driven shaft. The elastomer element inside compensates for angular and axial misalignment between the shafts without requiring rigid guides.

The coupling is slid onto both shafts and secured in place with set screws. The flexible material between the two hub sections enables torque transmission while also filtering out vibrations and torsional oscillations from the drive. This reduces the load on downstream components such as bearings or gearboxes.

The coupling is used wherever the motor and driven machine are not perfectly aligned or where vibrations need to be reduced. Typical applications include model-building projects with gearmotors, workshop machinery, or robotic systems where drive shafts need to be coupled.

The bore diameters are available in several sizes to fit different motor shafts and output shafts. When selecting a coupling, the diameters of both shafts must be known. Excessive misalignment or eccentricity will shorten the service life.

Safety Notice

The coupling may only be installed in systems where the maximum speed and the transmissible torque of the elastomer are not exceeded. The coupling rotates during operation; therefore, protective measures against injury are required. If you have any doubts regarding the correct design or installation, consult a qualified technician before commissioning.
