Rod Coupler
Rod Coupler
(OP)
I'd like to couple a 14mm solid steel shaft, to a 10mm x 1.5pitch
threaded rod. If possibly I'd like to avoid modifying the
shafts in any way (threading the smooth one, drilling holes,
ect). Also, I would like the coupler to be removable.
For the smooth shaft I was thinking of either screw-down
clamping sleeve or a simple sleeve with set screws. For the
threaded rod I'd prefer if the couple is just threaded to
match and I can screw it in.
Is there anything like this available?

RE: Rod Coupler
I think you're looking at a custom piece.
RE: Rod Coupler
If the shafts are to be coupled with anti-backlask , then try the following

If they are a straight mechanical coupling then the part will be bespoke.

I think more surface contact will be necessary than that of the collar-type couplings posted.
I would only need a few of these parts so a custom tooling seems a bit excessive, but I may have to fabricate something by hand if I cannot find anything suitable.
RE: Rod Coupler
These seem like they could be suitable:

If they were available with two different internal diameters.

In that link they list a model that has a 1/2" side and a 3/8" side.
I maybe be able to make that work.
I also noticed on this page:
http://www.ruland.com/ps_couplings_rigid_mclx.asp
that step bores are available, but not listed.
I have e-mailed them about both situations.
