There are a number of "rigid shaft couplers" available at McMaster.com
Some come with keys, some not. I would guess that will be able to get by without a keyed coupler.
I would suggest this one: 2469K2 (8mm = .315 - close enough for this coupler to work)
Note that some of the couplers actually have different input and output shaft diameters so you can couple a .312 shaft out of the smaller/more powerful CIM with a .500 shaft. If this is what you want, try this one: 3084K31
It comes with a small bore of .235 that you will have to open up to .312, but that is nothing that 10 minutes and a lathe can't fix.
