Different Types Of Shaft Coupling To Use On CNC
Coupling are used for transmitting torque between two shafts even when they are misaligned. For hobbyist CNCs they are used to connect the Stepper Motor axis and the leadscrew/ballscrew. Rigid Coupling The basic (and worst) coupling is the rigid couplings: This coupling is good for transmitting torque between two shafts and has no backlash but […]
