A stepper motor lead screw coupling is a device used to connect two shafts together at their ends for the purpose of transmitting power. On CNC Router, it is commonly used to connect driving and the driven parts on Z axis if x and y via rack and pinion transmission, one side with driving motor shaft(stepper or servo), the other side with ball screw shaft. And if the cnc router machine using lead screw transmission on X Y and Z, then the flexible shaft coupler can be used on X and Y axis also.
Features of shaft coupling
1) High concentricity, big torque
2) Aluminum material
3) Reducing the transmission of shock
4) Simple construction, easy to mount and maintenance
5) Suitable for stepper, servo, ballscrew
Series commonly used on CNC engraving machine
Series D40L55, Series D55L78, Series D65L90
