Short Coupling for Robot Smart Car Wheel – 5 mm Length: 18mm

A short coupling for a robot smart car wheel with a 5 mm diameter and an 18 mm length is typically used to connect the motor shaft to the wheel or other rotating components. This coupling ensures that the rotational motion of the motor is efficiently transferred to the wheel, allowing the smart car to move accurately and smoothly.

Here are some key features and specifications you might look for in such a coupling:

Key Features:

1. Material: Often made from durable materials such as aluminum, stainless steel, or plastic.
2. Diameter Compatibility: Fits a 5 mm motor shaft.
3. Length: 18 mm total length, providing a compact design suitable for small robot smart cars.
4. Type: Can be rigid or flexible, depending on the need for precision or the ability to compensate for minor misalignments.
5. Mounting: Typically includes set screws or clamping mechanisms to secure the coupling to the motor shaft and the wheel or other rotating parts.

Specifications:

• Outer Diameter: Should match the size of the wheel hub or the other component it is connecting to.
• Inner Diameter: 5 mm to fit the motor shaft.
• Length: 18 mm.
• Fastening: Set screws or clamping screws for secure attachment.

Example Use Case:

In a robot smart car, this coupling would be used to connect the motor (which has a 5 mm shaft) to the wheel assembly. When the motor rotates, the coupling ensures that this motion is transmitted to the wheel, allowing the car to drive forward, backward, or turn.

Installation Tips:

1. Align Properly: Ensure the motor shaft and the wheel hub are properly aligned to avoid undue stress on the coupling.
2. Tighten Securely: Use the set screws or clamps to securely attach the coupling to the shaft and the wheel to prevent slippage.
3. Check for Play: After installation, check for any play or movement in the coupling to ensure a secure fit.

Maintenance:

• Regular Inspection: Periodically check the coupling for signs of wear or loosening.
• Tighten Screws: Make sure the set screws or clamps remain tight over time, especially after heavy use.

By using a properly sized and installed coupling, you can ensure efficient and reliable power transmission from your motor to your robot smart car wheels, leading to smoother operation and better performance.
