Interfacing a shaft to a 3D printed gear doesn’t have to be tricky. [Tlalexander] demonstrated a solution that uses one half of a spider coupling (or jaw coupling) to create an effective modular ...

Couplings chosen with application requirements in mind last longer, improve precision, and protect other system components from premature failure. • Engineers should choose couplings that compensate ...

Couplings, shafts, and locking devices smooth even brute-force inputs for safer, more consistent output. However, protecting other costlier components does take its toll. Here we discuss connector ...
