SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on adapting a 3.17 mm diameter shaft to fit a 5 mm diameter connector using an adaptor sleeve. Participants recommend searching for "adaptor sleeve 1/8 inch to 5 mm" on Amazon to find suitable options. A specific sleeve design is mentioned, which includes a hole for a setscrew to secure the 3.17 mm shaft. This solution effectively addresses the need for a reliable connection between the two differing shaft sizes.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of shaft and connector dimensions
  • Familiarity with adaptor sleeves and their applications
  • Knowledge of setscrew mechanisms
  • Basic skills in mechanical assembly
NEXT STEPS
  • Research "adaptor sleeve specifications" for various applications
  • Learn about "setscrew installation techniques" for secure fittings
  • Explore "motor shaft compatibility" for different diameter sizes
  • Investigate "mechanical assembly best practices" for optimal performance
USEFUL FOR

Mechanical engineers, hobbyists working on motorized projects, and anyone involved in adapting shaft sizes for machinery will benefit from this discussion.

TL;DR
Understand to solve 3.17 mm d. shaft function as 5 mm one
Anyone understand to do as correctly as possible on 3.17 mm d. shaft function as 5 mm one, as the available affordable is motor shaft 3.17 mm diameter and the (leftmost image of adv.) connector/adapter of 5 mm diameter M10 ?
So what'd be the most suitable pad/filler and how is to do it?

I think what you are asking for is a sleeve to adapt a 3.17 mm shaft to a 5 mm hole. If so, try searching Amazon using search terms adaptor sleeve 1/8 inch to 5 mm. That search found a number of sleeves such as this one:

The hole in the side of the sleeve is for the setscrew to go through and press directly on the 3.17 mm shaft.
