Gene: McMaster Carr has metric version lovejoy couplings available, in most of the standard sizes.

But they are rated at 250W, HV version limited to 7.5A per phase, which, when reached, makes quite big torque gap, so it is not recommended to use 7i39 near its maximum current limit. I even found better lead angles not to trigger 7i39 overcurrent protection, solved over-voltage problem while decelerating. I would say 250W-300W is their maximum limit, while 250W rated motor can get or even deliver 750W power temporarily, which is very useful for acceleration or other temporary load conditions. Not to mention averaging of sines, which shows 7i39's even weaker. Pico BLDC PWM servo amplifier is something I considered earlier, but did not choose as it has no sine commutation capability. I am looking at it with new eyes. I could use it for some applications. I know IRAMS module, but I doubt they are capable to deliver 10-15 Amps per phase, which are needed for such voltage motors of similar power. Yes, IRAMS could be great for higher voltage motors.. Looking from economic point of view it would be great to have amplifiers for such motors in a price range between 60 and 110 USD for one motor IMO.

The only one that resembles these is their # 35407022, but it says the max bore is .500", and I need a 14mm bore while still being a 2 legged hub. I'll go measure these for OD & see if they have a part #. Nope, well polished alu, 30mm OD, 35mm assembled length,.3748" bore & I need an 8mm bore. Going up in bore size but holding to the same family so hubs would interchange, the up stops at 1/2". No 14mm in that frame size. McMasterCarr has similar items, but something north of 50 bucks for all 3 pieces. Thumbs down. On both hands. MSC sells at 1/4 that.

George Ramsower, just north of San Antonio. I do like my "Micro Mill" as they are called but I just call it a "Desktop Mill". Lately, I've been creating the rest of an alphabet. I already have 0-9 numbers and nine alpha characters written. As I get better, I intend to get back onto this particular software project. The objective here is to be able to make mail box tags and see if anyone will buy them. If there aren't any sales, it's not a big deal as then I can make one for MY mail box. That's all I really wanted to do anyway! I'll end up with labels and tags on several things around here. Then I can get back to building parts for my next steam engine.
