I'm spinning a 24 in dia., 2 in thick aluminum disc ("table") at a rate of 6000 rpm. The drive shaft design is still not finalized.
Do you think I should go with a tapered drive shaft:
Or should I go with a flange drive shaft:
I have a general idea of the advantages/disadvantages of both options, considering slippage and alignment of both table-to-drive-shaft interfaces. I'm still a rookie (I'm going on 19 months out of college!), so any help whatsoever is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Phil
