    Shaft
In summary, the conversation is asking for a suitable pad or filler to adapt a 3.17 mm shaft to a 5 mm hole. The suggestion is to search on Amazon for an adaptor sleeve with a setscrew to press on the shaft, and an example is provided.

TL;DR Summary
Understand to solve 3.17 mm d. shaft function as 5 mm one
Anyone understand to do as correctly as possible on 3.17 mm d. shaft function as 5 mm one, as the available affordable is motor shaft 3.17 mm diameter and the (leftmost image of adv.) connector/adapter of 5 mm diameter M10 ?
So what'd be the most suitable pad/filler and how is to do it?

I think what you are asking for is a sleeve to adapt a 3.17 mm shaft to a 5 mm hole. If so, try searching Amazon using search terms adaptor sleeve 1/8 inch to 5 mm. That search found a number of sleeves such as this one:

The hole in the side of the sleeve is for the setscrew to go through and press directly on the 3.17 mm shaft.

FAQ: Most suitable pad for 3.17 mm d. shaft to be as 5 mm one

What is the purpose of finding the most suitable pad for a 3.17 mm d. shaft to be as 5 mm one?

The purpose of finding the most suitable pad is to ensure that the 3.17 mm d. shaft can be securely attached to a 5 mm one without any potential risks or damages.

How do you determine the most suitable pad for this specific shaft size?

The most suitable pad can be determined by considering factors such as the material, size, and compatibility with the shaft. It is also important to conduct thorough testing and analysis to ensure the pad can withstand the intended use of the shaft.

What are some common materials used for pads in this scenario?

Some common materials used for pads in this scenario include rubber, silicone, polyurethane, and Teflon. These materials offer different levels of durability and compatibility with various shaft sizes.

Can a pad be customized for a specific shaft size?

Yes, pads can be customized to fit a specific shaft size. This can be done by adjusting the dimensions and materials used in the pad to ensure a secure fit for the 3.17 mm d. shaft to be as a 5 mm one.

Are there any potential risks or limitations to using a pad for this purpose?

While using a pad to attach a 3.17 mm d. shaft to a 5 mm one can be a suitable solution, there may be some limitations or risks involved. It is important to carefully consider the intended use and potential stress on the pad to ensure it can withstand the load and prevent any potential failures.
