Re: Oldham Coupler replacement success?

 

Taylor,

The only study I found was from Michael Sinescalchi. His website described trying a Ruland coupler.? It did not improve PE, maybe worsened it.? No knowledge of other types of coupler.?

My view is the Oldham works fine, but you need to be sure the gearbox drive shaft and worm drive shaft are lined up, so the coupler only spins, not angles or center white part slides.??

All the best,
Michael

Hi All,

Wondering if anyone has had any success with a replacement coupler for the Oldham coupler design, such as a bellows coupler that Real14 on CN
Would this reduce backlash or improve periodic error?

Or any thoughts/advice against replacing this? I have the GM811 w/ OPW and tucked motors (NOT spring loaded worm).?

Thanks?
