· Product Overview
Introducing the YITECH Precision Rigid Shaft Coupling (Sleeve Type) — a CNC-machined, monolithic coupling engineered for zero-backlash, high-torque transmission between motors, encoders, spindles, and actuators in precision motion systems.
Each coupling delivers:
- Solid 316L stainless steel construction (standard); optional: 304 SS, 6061-T6 aluminum, or 17-4PH precipitation-hardened steel
- Dual set-screw design: Two M3 or M4 through-holes (90° apart) — for secure, non-marring shaft clamping
- Precision-bored central bore: Standard Ø6.0 mm, Ø8.0 mm, or custom (±0.005 mm tolerance)
- Mirror-polished outer surface (Ra ≈ 0.15 μm) — ensures smooth mounting and zero galling
- Tight tolerances: ≤0.008 mm concentricity (bore to OD), ≤0.005 mm bore diameter deviation — critical for encoder alignment and dynamic balance
Unlike stamped, welded, or plastic couplings (prone to runout, deformation, or screw slippage), our monolithic couplings maintain <0.01 mm radial runout even after 50,000+ hours of continuous operation — verified per ISO 14577 and DIN 6885.
Ideal for engineers building servo-driven robots, CNC spindles, medical imaging gantries, optical stages, and lab automation where positional accuracy, torque fidelity, and maintenance-free operation are non-negotiable.
