Answer: There are none when it comes to the technical factors such as speed, misalignment, and torque capacity. All of that is determined by the design of the coupling and the disk. Users do have to be careful when using stainless steel because it has significantly higher inertia than aluminum which may impact overall system performance. This should be accounted for during the design process. Stainless steel does have the benefit of being suitable for high temperature, chemical washdown, or vacuum type environments when combined with a PEEK disk.
