motor shaft coupling?

[geekEE]

I've got a small motor with a 1/4" round shaft that I want to attach to a flat plate to act like a display turntable. What is the name of the coupling that I'm looking for? I figure that there must be some sort of coupling that has something like a setscrew to tighten around the shaft and some holes so that I can attach it to the plate.

I'm just making one or two of these, so I'm looking for something off-the-shelf. Since I don't know the name of what I'm looking for, I'm not sure what to search for.

Secondly, does anyone have a source that sells this sort of thing in small quantities?

We call them shaft mounting flanges but I can't find any right now in our usual sources. We usually just end up making what we want in house. You can always try one of these collars and then glue, bolt, weld, whatever the flange you want to the collar.

Thanks David. I found a few things that were similar to what I needed in those links, but nothing that was exactly what I needed. I'll probably just end up making something.

A shft coupling is something for connecting 2 shafts together. What I think you want is called a shaft bushing.

jraef, that's exactly the part that I need! Now, if I can just find a source for small quantities (and in the small size that I need). At least now I have the right terminology to search with.

Also sometimes called "flanged couplings". McMasterCarr has some small ones.
