Aluminum Flex Shaft Coupler - 5mm to 8mm
32 units available with a short lead time.
A machined aluminium flexible shaft coupler for connecting a 5mm shaft to an 8mm shaft. The spiral-cut design provides slight flexibility to accommodate minor misalignment between shafts, reducing binding without introducing rotational backlash — making it suitable for precision CNC work.
