Unique-Bargains Helical Beam Coupler 15mm to 12mm 32mm x 40mm

SKU CH-8RSM-5239R

Connects 15 mm and 12 mm shafts with a 32 mm diameter, 40 mm long aluminium-alloy helical beam coupling weighing 66 g

  • Connects 15 mm and 12 mm shafts with helical flexibility
  • Aluminium alloy construction keeps weight to 66 g
  • Spring action absorbs parallel and angular misalignment
  • 40 mm length and 32 mm diameter fit compact drive systems
  • Screw-type clamping provides secure grip on encoder and lead-screw shafts

Shaft Coupling for 15 mm to 12 mm

This helical beam coupling connects a 15 mm shaft to a 12 mm shaft in light to medium duty drive systems. It suits encoders, instrumentation, lead screws, small pumps and feed rollers where torsional flexibility is required. The aluminium alloy body weighs 66 g and measures 32 mm in diameter by 40 mm in length. Buyers needing a different bore combination or a rigid coupling will not find it here.

Sustained Misalignment Absorption

The spring action of the helical beam continuously absorbs parallel offset, angular misalignment and shaft end-play during extended operation. This reduces stress on connected bearings and maintains torque transmission without the backlash that can develop in rigid joints over time. The coiling clamping screw type holds each shaft securely while the flexible element works. Applications demanding high torsional stiffness or zero wind-up are not served by this design.

Aluminium Build with Clamping Screws

The silver tone aluminium alloy construction resists corrosion in typical workshop environments while keeping rotating mass low. Two coiling clamping screws provide a firm grip on both the 15 mm and 12 mm shafts without the need for keyways or set screws that can mar precision surfaces. The 32 mm outer diameter fits compact machine envelopes. Installations requiring stainless steel, larger diameters or flange mounting must look elsewhere.

Questions about this item

Does the 32 mm diameter aluminium body run hot during continuous operation?

The aluminium alloy body dissipates heat from the shaft interface, so temperature rise stays low even during extended use.

What shaft sizes must my motor and driven load already have to fit this 15 mm to 12 mm coupler?

One shaft must be 15 mm and the other 12 mm; the clamping screws secure each bore without additional adapters.

Will the 40 mm length and helical flex work with an older encoder that has slight shaft misalignment?

The helical beam absorbs parallel, angular and end-play misalignment, making it suitable for older encoders and lead-screw drives.
