Merely fastening them together is not enough. You need a more complex
mechanism that transmits torque in the presence of imperfect alignment in
multiple degrees of freedom.




How about a piece of reinforced rubber hose, such as hydraulic hose,
as a compliant coupling. Use two hydraulic hose clamps to attach to
pinion and shaft.
