Stepper motor Pulley Belt Question

Hi

I am working on a project and I am hoping for some guidance.

I have a stepper motor with a 5mm drive shaft. I am wanting to drive a capacitor with a 10mm shaft. If i currently connect the motor direct to the end of the capacitor (using a straight coupler) it will turn it but it does struggle and I would rather have the motor next to the capacitor rather that on the end of it.

So I have see people use belts for this kind of thing which seems perfect however I don’t know where to begin in finding what I need. I came across this site and it seems that parts may be available but there are many many options which I just don’t understand.

Can anyone point me in the right direction of how to achieve this?

Many thanks

Hi M6WCL,

What do you mean by “Capacitor” exactly ? Do you have any pictures you can attach to make it clear ?
