: Hello,
: Has anyone experienced problems with the special SPI made drill motor shaft couplings?
: Thanx,
: Andy Grady

We use two couplings on our system... both from small parts. The first coupling is the one specially made for the drill motors, which connect the motors to the 3/8" shafts. We also use a 3/8" to 3/8" misalignment coupler, so any misalignment in the motor mounting does not destroy the gearbox or motor.

So far, we have not experienced any problems with these couplings, even when we press down on the wheels so they stop, and the motor is providing the maximum amount of torque on the shafts and minimum angular velocity (zero).

How about your team?

Patrick
