Small motors / Shaft

A double ended coupling comes to mind. What size your motor shaft and what size is your dowel. What is your dowel connected to?

Shaft: 5/32" dia
Dowel rod: 1" dia
Like to make the dowel rod spin so it can roll up cloth material horizontally.
Am i going about this the wrong way?

Does this motor have a speed reduction? Without something, internal or external, to reduce the speed most motors are going to spin a lot faster than I assume you want. After that it will take some thinking but some sort of coupler like Larry mentioned should suffice. The motor possibly has a flat side for a D couple and set screw but you'll have to see what you can find that could attach to the dowel.

Welcome to the forums.

Yes i do have speed switch. I believe the D-coupler will work. Attaching it to the shaft and then another 2" rod. I'm going to drill a small hole in the added rod & dowel rod. Connect the two using a cotter pin.
Thanks again to all.
