The MP-JET 3mm Collet Propeller Adapter is a precision-engineered fastening component, specifically designed for aeromodeling applications. Its crucial role is the stable and secure mounting of propellers onto model motor shafts, which is essential for the proper functioning of the propulsion system.
Applications and Function
The MP-JET 3mm adapter is designed for effectively securing propellers on model aircraft, drones, and other aerial models powered by electric or glow/gas engines with the appropriate shaft diameter. The main task of this collet is to ensure a secure and perfectly centered connection between the propeller and the drive shaft. This minimizes vibrations, increases power transfer efficiency, and significantly improves the safety and flight stability of your model.
Key Technical Features
Shaft Diameter: The collet is designed for a perfect fit on 3mm diameter motor shafts, ensuring wide compatibility with popular power units in RC modeling.
Mounting Type: This is a compression-style collet adapter. Its design securely holds the propeller on the shaft, preventing slippage or detachment during motor operation.
Precision Manufacturing: High-quality machining and precise tolerances (whether threaded or compression-fit) ensure easy assembly, disassembly, and optimal propeller centering, which is crucial for vibration reduction.
Materials and Durability
The MP-JET 3mm Collet Propeller Adapter is made from a high-quality metal alloy, characterized by high mechanical strength and corrosion resistance. This material ensures the component's longevity, even under the intense dynamic loads and vibrations typical of model motor operation. The material's durability translates directly to the overall reliability of your propulsion system.
Compatibility
This product offers wide compatibility with various types of model propellers, provided they have a hub thickness suitable for compression by the collet. It is ideal for use with both brushed and brushless electric motors, as well as certain small glow/gas engines equipped with a 3mm diameter drive shaft. It finds applications in RC airplanes, powered gliders, and smaller drone models.
