Motor couplings and shaft couplings for model engines

Welcome to our category for motor couplings and shaft couplings for model engines! Here you will find a comprehensive selection of couplings that have been specially developed to meet the requirements of modelling projects. A suitable coupling ensures an optimal connection between the motor and drive shaft, resulting in improved performance and reliability. Discover the different types and sizes of our couplings to find the perfect solution for your model.
Types of engine couplings and shaft couplings

Rigid couplings: These couplings provide a fixed connection between the motor and shaft, with no room for movement. They are ideal for applications where precision and accuracy are crucial, such as CNC machines or high-precision models.

Flexible couplings: Flexible couplings, also known as flexible couplings, provide a degree of freedom of movement and can compensate for small inaccuracies in alignment. They reduce vibrations and are ideal for models that are operated on uneven terrain or with varying loads.

Safety clutches: These clutches provide additional protection by slipping or disconnecting in the event of an overload to prevent damage to the motor or other components. They are particularly useful in projects where sudden load peaks can occur.

Magnetic couplings: Magnetic couplings utilise magnetic forces to create the connection between the motor and shaft. They are maintenance-free and ideal for applications where contactless transmission of torque is required.
Sizes and materials

Our couplings are available in various sizes to meet the different requirements of modelling projects. From small, compact clutches for miniature models to larger clutches for powerful engines, we have the right size for you.

The materials range from aluminium and steel to special plastics, each of which offers its own advantages. Aluminium clutches are lightweight and corrosion-resistant, while steel clutches are particularly robust and durable. Plastic couplings offer a good combination of flexibility and durability.
Tips for selection and installation

Compatibility: Make sure the coupling is compatible with your engine and shaft. Check the diameter and mounting options.

Application: Select the coupling according to the application and the specific requirements of your project. Consider factors such as torque, speed and alignment accuracy.

Maintenance: Some couplings require regular maintenance to ensure optimum performance. Be sure to check the coupling regularly and service it if necessary.
