Re: 1/2 hex shaft coupling

I would recommend investing in a hex broach in both 3/8 and 1/2 inch sizes. You will not believe how much they will get used. We needed similar couplings last year and could not find any so we made them by broaching 1/2 inch round shaft couplings

Re: 1/2 hex shaft coupling

We are using these this year, from Team 221 systems. They seem to be working out alright.

The problem with buying a hex broach is you have to buy an arbor press big enough to use it. I know we don't have the space for that until next year when we get our new shop.

Nice find! This would be easier to drill and tap than the steel sleeves I posted. They wouldn't work for us this year because we need something that can fit inside a 1⅛" diameter bore, but I will definitely keep this in mind for future years.

Cheers,

Re: 1/2 hex shaft coupling

I prefer not to use set screws, generally. The only ones I've had decent luck with are the ones with knurled points to help prevent backing out.

If I were connecting two shafts together I would use a few spring pins, dowel pins, or cotter pins. Also consider axial shaft retainers. A little fancier, but they can work quite well.

Re: 1/2 hex shaft coupling

Buy a 1/2 inch deep well socket and cut the square end off.

Easy and cheap.

Well why didn't I think of that last year. Good suggestion.

Thanks but I think BJT actually beat me to it.
