Shaft coupling (rigid)

Connection kind shaft-coupling (category mech, DSL name couple, API v1)

Rigid 1:1 coupling between two rotational ports. Propagates ω unchanged; typically used to mount a gear on a shaft or to join two collinear shafts.

Accepted ports

_Any matching rotational ports (symmetric)._

Parameters

• `offsetMm` — Signed offset along the anchor local Z axis where the driven component is placed (mm). Defaults to 0.

Parameters schema

Kinematics

ω_to = ω_from. No ratio, no sign change.

Layout

This connection computes the driven component position from the anchor.

Example

connect S1.axis -> G1.axis with mech.couple {
  offsetMm: 50
}
