SF 8-3/8 Shaft

This shaft configuration features a replaceable splined sleeve option. The design includes an adapter mounted to the pinion shaft and an intermediate splined sleeve that engages with the adapter. This sleeve also incorporates an internal gear that meshes with the hub. This design is particularly well-suited for applications requiring quick assembly and disassembly. Additionally, it allows a single replaceable sleeve to be used flexibly at both ends of the shaft.

The shaft is custom-engineered for specialized applications and non-standard requirements. Key Features:

• Replaceable gear ring at the pinion end
• Replaceable roll-end locking pin
• Splined hub at the roll end
• ±3-1/2"" axial travel to adjust roll position
• Roll-end thrust spring pack
• Carburized gearing

The shaft is custom-engineered for specialized applications and non-standard requirements. Key features:

• Quick disconnect at the roll end
• Induction-hardened gearing

This optional shaft configuration features a replaceable gear ring at both the roll end and the drive end. The gear ring is connected to the adapter via a tight-fitting spline, using a flat root side fit engagement. The gear ring is held concentric with the adapter by precision-machined pilot surfaces at both ends of the spline engagement. If the gear ring is damaged for any reason, it can be replaced in significantly less time than it would take to replace a sleeve with an integral gear, and it is also much more cost-effective.
