Abstract

The blender is an essential household appliance that relies on transmitting torque from the motor to the cutting blades through a coupling system between the drive shaft and the blender jar. Currently, components such as the coupling are made of polymers (POM, polyethylene) due to their low cost and favorable properties. However, the use of metals can enhance aesthetics and the perception of quality. This work aims to analyze the feasibility of replacing the polymer coupling/drive with a metal one.
