What the heck do I call it???

[Van]

Ok Brains. What do you call this piece of hardware?? it's a flange, yes, but a flange that attaches to a keyed motor shaft. the flange then attaches to something else , like the hub of a fan, or the end of a snow machine tube that you want to spin. I've been looking for days. First person to tell me what the heck it is get my undying admiration...

Ahhhhh yes, that would be one of those gizmotrons.

No its a thing-a-ma-jiggy.

 

[DaveySimps]

Can we at least agree it is not a whatchamacallit?

I know for a fact it is not a watchamacallit?

 

[Van]

It's not a roundtuit either.... now what the heck is it ?
No it's not a 'flange bearing' I got one of those from Grainger after explaining exactly what I wanted.

Or

A drive flange, most often used in the automotive world.

I can not find any on Mcmaster or Grainger.

Good then it's not just me being crazy ! Once again, Kyle, you've earned my utmost respect and admiration.

That looks similar to a coupling in a car's steering linkage.

Having been an product engineering designer for three decades I can say for certain that it is...whatever whoever worked up that CAD model wishes to call it! I would start with a 'slotted flange hub plate whosit' and embellish from there.

How about this:



"Flanged Collar"

Well, my local favorite hardware store, W.C. Winks Hardware, sells it as a " Die-Cast Hub" and sells it for $10.00. Grainger, McMaster, McGuire, apparently don't carry them. I should have trusted old sources better. Thanks all !
