SM 7-13/16/6-5/8 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

• Provides maximum torque transmission under severe shock load conditions, while still operating effectively at relatively large misalignment angles.
• Gear components are manufactured from medium carbon steel and forged alloy steel, with heat-treated gear tooth surfaces. The hub gear teeth are fully crowned to ensure maximum torque transfer with minimal backlash.
• The one-piece molded lip seal is designed to operate under misalignment conditions, providing the most effective sealing performance: retaining lubricant inside and preventing the ingress of dust and contaminants from the outside.
• All shafts are designed so that the contact point of the thrust button lies precisely on the centerline of the gear mesh. This allows for ball-and-socket-type motion, rather than sliding motion that would occur if the contact point were located on the thrust plate.

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

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