SUMMARY
This discussion focuses on coupling solutions for electric motors with different shaft sizes, specifically addressing the use of "Taper Lock" bushes and flexible couplings. Taper Lock systems are available in various sizes and can be selected to fit shafts that need to be joined. Users are advised to consider taper lock HRC couplings for their applications. Additionally, stock splined shafts can be sourced from PTO shaft and drive-line suppliers for easier integration.
