SM shaft type 4

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

• Replaceable gear components
• Replaceable roll-end locking pin
• Splined hub
• Roll-end thrust spring pack
• Induction-hardened 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

The SL shaft is used for medium-torque applications that require high misalignment compensation and in situations where the equipment must be disconnected quickly and/or frequently. The SL shaft can also be used in applications where the center-to-center distance between equipment is minimal and diameter constraints are present. The Amerigear SL flexible shaft is designed to transmit maximum torque within confined spaces while accommodating relatively large misalignment. The quick-release sleeve design enables fast and easy installation or removal of the shaft without disassembling the driving or driven equipment. The gear sleeve is securely retained to the adapter by a proprietary locking ring design, ensuring safety and stability during operation.
