Unique-Bargains 12mm to 8mm Aluminum Alloy Shaft Coupling Silver
Connects 12 mm and 8 mm shafts with a zero-backlash aluminium spring coupling that absorbs misalignment in light-duty drives
- Zero backlash ensures precise motion transfer via one-piece spring design
- Spring action absorbs parallel and angular misalignment plus shaft end-play
- Aluminium alloy construction provides light-to-medium duty torsionally flexible coupling
- Connects 12 mm to 8 mm shafts for encoders, lead screws and small pumps
- Compact 30 mm length and 25 mm diameter fits tight drive assemblies
12 mm to 8 mm shaft coupling
This aluminium-alloy flexible coupler joins a 12 mm shaft to an 8 mm shaft with zero backlash. Its one-piece metallic spring design absorbs parallel and angular misalignment as well as shaft end-play. Total length is 30 mm and outside diameter is 25 mm. Intended for light-to-medium torque drives such as encoders, lead screws and small pumps.
Check shaft sizes and torque needs
Verify that your driven and driving shafts measure exactly 12 mm and 8 mm respectively before ordering. Confirm the application torque falls within the light-to-medium duty range the spring element is designed for. Ensure there is 30 mm of axial space and 25 mm radial clearance at the joint. The coupling is supplied as a single unit without mounting hardware.
Suits precision motion and light drives
Builders of CNC axes, 3D-printer Z-axes, instrumentation rigs or small pump assemblies will value the backlash-free spring action. Users needing high-torque rigid transmission, keyed shafts or flanged mounting should look elsewhere. The fixed 12 mm to 8 mm bore combination also means it cannot adapt to other shaft diameters.

Questions about this item
Does the package include only the coupling or are fasteners and tools supplied as well?
The package contains one shaft coupling; fasteners and installation tools are not included and must be sourced separately.
When should I select the 12 mm to 8 mm size versus a different bore combination?
Choose this coupling when the driving shaft measures 12 mm and the driven shaft measures 8 mm; other bore pairs are not compatible with this model.
How does the 30 mm overall length affect installation in a compact drive assembly?
At 30 mm long and 25 mm in outside diameter the coupling fits in tight spaces while its one-piece spring design absorbs parallel and angular misalignment without adding extra components.
