Product Details
Key Features
- High-precision aluminium flexible coupling with helical (spiral) cut design allows compensation of misalignment while transmitting torque with minimal backlash. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
- Helical cut in the body makes the coupling behave like a spring in radial, axial and angular directions (to some extent), ensuring smooth rotational transfer between a 5 mm shaft and an 8 mm shaft. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}
- Designed for precision motion systems such as 3D printers, CNC machines and robotics, where shaft alignment may not be perfect but torque transfer must remain reliable. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}
Applications
Ideal for coupling a 5 mm motor shaft (for example stepper motor) to an 8 mm driven shaft or lead screw in FDM/FFF 3D-printers, CNC routers or robotic axes. Flexible helical design helps reduce binding and ensure precise motion.
