5mm to 8mm Flexible Coupling The 5mm to 8mm flexible couplings are manufactured with high quality aluminum with minimum backlash possible. These flexible couplings are generally used to connect your driving shaft with the driven shaft. It is able to achieve this in the most efficient and possible way while avoiding any misalignment. Flexible shaft couplers used in small CNC machines and 3d printers such as prusa i3. Flex capability of the coupler removes stress when shafts are not aligned perfectly. Features: Helical cut makes them behave like a springy in the X Y and Z linear axis but not in the rotational axis. That means that you won’t get more backlash, hence they are suitable for precision CNC work. A coupling is a device which transmits power and torque. Couplings do not normally allow disconnection of shafts during operation. However, there are torque limiting couplings which can slip or disconnect when some torque limit exceeds. By careful selection, installation and maintenance of couplings, substantial savings are possible in reduced maintenance costs and downtime. It can protect the driving and driven shaft members against harmful effects because of misalignment of the shafts, sudden shock loads, shaft expansion or vibrations etc. Applications: Connects gears, rods etc. to the 5V stepper motors Commonly used for Robotics, 3D printer and other projects.
