A line of rigid clamp-style shaft adapters that come in a wide variety of configurations to connect dissimilar shaft sizes and types is available from Stafford Manufacturing Corp. of Wilmington, Massachusetts.
Stafford Shaft Adapters are rigid couplings with a clamp-type female end that fits securely over an output shaft and feature male ends which can be supplied in various lengths and ends to solve shaft compatibility issues. Providing a host of solutions, these adapters are offered in step-up and step-down configurations with or without keyways and shaft extensions can be round, square, hex, D, threaded, keyed, tapered, and machinable.
