Have you looked through the McMaster catalog? 1-9/16 is not a common
shaft size (quarter inch above 1-1/2), which might be a problem.
What's the application? How much torque? RPMs? One direction of
rotation, or two? How much play is allowable? How accurately are you
going to be able to align the shafts?
