Best Place To Buy Couplings?

[John S]

Carl,
Bad forum to ask questions in as you can't make replies in this forum, hence the new thread.

This coupling question often gets asked.

There is only one design of coupling that can handle mis-alignment in two axis and still work. That is an Oldham coupling.

If you were in the UK I'd say Farnell, CPC, RS or Arc

The 2, 3, 4, jaw lovejoy type couplings whilst being cheapare not zero backlash or able to handle misalignment in both axis.
The type you have I hate with a vengance and is about as much use as a stick of celery and two hose clips.
