    Question Flexible coupler, which one ?

    Hi,

    I´m looking for one coupler for my CNC. Not sure which one to choose...
    Can any one help me ? If I'm not wrong one can not supply my torque... Suggestions ?

    I have a fixed screw (only spin). Don´t think that will have axial movement ( but we never now this once is a home made cnc...).

    The motor is a nema23 but with 2,5Nm - 354oz.
    working at 1/8 - max velocity is 1400 p/min (is mm)
    and acceleration in around 50.



    What I´m looking for and doubt for the two types:


    1. eBay item 260761797612

    and the second model is:


    2. eBay item 260756305564

    My CNC table is around 63" x 47"




    >>>
    >>> Which one is the best and what is the differences ?
    >>>
    Oh.. I have low money .. damn...

    Ps. I'm not live in US so, can´t find easely this stuffs ... :/

    Thank you guys!!!

    Don't use aluminum Helical, use stainless, more money but less problems.
    Look in the Misumi catalogue they have Oldham and spider types that are very low backlash.
