Float-A-Shaft
|
Float-A-Shaft is a universal right angle gearbox coupling. It consists
of two 45° helical gears that mesh at right angles. Designed
to turn power around any corner, Float-A-Shaft can be operated
in either direction and can slide axially along the drive or
driven shaft. A light weight aluminum housing encloses the gears
(serving as a structure support and a lubricant reservoir which
are keyed directly to the shafts. Field-proven for over 35 years,
the Float-A-Shaft's unique floating design maintains perfect
alignment and eliminates the use of dangerous chain sprocket
drives. Float-A-Shafts are available in either a low torque journal
bearing or a high torque sealed roller bearing series. Rated
for a maximum of 500 RPM. Metric models are available.
