IMPT INFO - Motor Rubber Coupling in Vancouver Electric Car Conversion

electric motor-to-transmission shaft coupler. Probably the most important fabrication step in the project. It has to be aligned as close to perfect as possible or else we'll have vibration & bearing wear issues Motor Rubber Coupling in Vancouver Electric Car Conversion why not use a standard spider or sleeve coupling? the rubber spider or sleeve makes a dandy shock coupler to keep the initial shaft torque from hammering the gearbox. the rubber center also allows for less critical alignment letting the rubber flex a bit. instead of taking out a bearing, the rubber spider or sleeve becomes an inexpensive, replaceable wear item.

Lovejoy coupler , they are worth have but if under high tork i would see keep an eye on it. they do tend wear out fast. if i remember right i think there is fluid ones that lock up that are best. most motors i have worked on are under 15 hp.

Keep up the good videos =)

this was short , hope for more on that BUG , Peace
