    Thanks again Mike,

    Would these work the same as mine?

    I notice they don't have the slit/hinge running along the width like mine.

    Let me know if you ever need something cut Mike, I owe you one!

    Cheers,
    Kevin.

    Hi Kevin
    That's a very kind offer.
    The coupling in the link locates and is locked with a grub screw, yours just has a different clamping arrangement so it will be fine.
    Your coupling will have sheared for a reason, what you need to do is check that the gantry isn't binding for a start, but i would suspect it's probably a slight misalignment of the motor and ballscrew shafts causing the coupling to flex on each rotation and eventually metal fatigue results in a break.
    While your waiting for your coupling try and align the two shafts as best you can, if possible shim the motor to suite.
    Good luck
    Mike
    PS
    or what Lee said
