u should look into why they didn't come with washers, the flange might be engineered to flex minus the coverage of the bolt head....increasing the area with a washer might cause failure.
came across this on a coupling for a ballscrew on a high speed CNC machine I was repairing.

Please post their reply, I am curious as well and as ov said before the hardware kit is the only thing I don't care for with their shaft.

Will be interesting to hear what they say. Based on what I have looked at with mine, the contour of the flange will cause uneven pressure from the bolt & washer when being tightened down. Without the washer, the bolt will be on the flat surface.

I know it might sound stupid and it may not be relevant but after a very long briefing on rotational mass vs allowable flex it's better to be safe then sorry.

A washer helps distribute the load over a larger area to prevent warpage. There is no way that bolt could warp that thick flange so a washer isn't needed.

I'll be able to sleep better now!

Joe.G · 01-04-2023, 05:49 AM

So are you going to use them or not ?

bottletalk · 01-05-2023, 02:06 AM

is there any adjustment(s) for truing it up?
I'm thinking of tossing in a 1 piece when I do my axles but the forum is filled with unsatisfied customers getting bad vibration.
.. I haven't looked into it nor do I know anybody that experienced this so I just assumed that Joe's garage wasn't installing them properly???

no disrespect to any Joe's out there.... especially the ones that own garages named "Joe's Garage"
