Flexible Shaft Coupler with Torsion Bar

thingiverse

A Flexible Shaft Coupler with Built-in Torsion Bars to Connect an 8mm Trapezoidal Lead Screw or Threaded Rod to a NEMA 5mm Motor Shaft. This simple yet effective shaft coupler is designed to provide flexibility and durability, making it ideal for various applications. The internal core torsion bar allows for smooth rotation while maintaining the alignment of the connected components. Two versions are available: * Single Torsion Bar Coupler: Perfect for applications requiring minimal flexure. * Trio of Torsion Bars Coupler: Ideal for situations where additional flexibility is needed. The coupler's parametric design makes it easy to customize and modify. Using Fusion360, users can explore the helix effect achieved through the 'Coil' function. This unique feature enables designers to optimize the coupler's performance for their specific needs. Recent updates have improved the design: * Increased wall thickness for added strength * Widened torsion bars for enhanced flexibility * Improved parametric design for easier customization Files are regularly updated to ensure users have access to the latest version of the shaft coupler. Enjoy this innovative solution for your next project!
