R & D Flexible Shaft Coupling f/6" Twin Disc - 28HP/100RPM Capacity [910-026]

Flexible Shaft Coupling for 6" Twin Disc - 28HP/100RPM Capacity

The R&D Flexible Couplings are fabricated from a contoured flexible disc molded in tough yet resilient new type polyurethane. The contoured disc gives clearance for the bolt heads, and is able to flex freely to take up any temporary misalignment of the engine and shaft, due to flexing of the boat structure or the engine moving on its rubber vibration isolation mountings. Forward thrust is taken in compression on the disc between the two half couplings and reverse thrust is taken again in compression on the disc between the two fail straps. In the unlikely event of a disc failure the steel straps make the coupling fail safe and ensure drive is maintained in both forward and reverse.

To calculate power of coupling required:
Horse Power of Engine _{x Reduction Ratio x 100 = HP/100RPM}
      Engine Speed

Example:
Ford 150 HP at 2500 RPM with Borg Warner Velvet Drive 72C 2:1 Reduction Ratio
Engine Horse Power is 150 HP, Max Rated RPM is 2500, Reduction Ratio is 2:1
150/2500 X 2 x 100 = 12hp per 100RPM
Coupling required is 910-009

The R & D Marine Flexible Coupling fits between the transmission output flange and shaft coupling. It is designed to protect a boat's drivetrain. The unit will reduce vibration, compensate for some misalignment, isolate the shaft and absorb shock loads.

The flexible disc is machined from a resilient and durable polyurethane. It allows the unit to flex, absorbing vibrations and temporary misalignment of the shaft and engine due to movement of the engine or flexing in the vessel's structure.

The polyurethane disc is backed up by two metal compression straps, one on either side of the flexible coupling. These metal straps hold the system in constant compression whether the drivetrain is in forward or reverse. This feature extends the life of the system dramatically.

The R & D Marine Flexible Coupling will also absorb shockloads resulting from gear changes, or the propeller striking a submerged object. The polyurethane disk will distort with light shock loads and is designed to be sacrificial in the event of severe shock load, saving on expensive drivetrain repairs. If the disc is destroyed from massive shockload the metal compression straps keep the coupling intact ensuring that the drive system is functional in both forward and reverse.

Why R&D Marine Flexible Shaft Couplings?

• Polyurethane flange creates a flexible barrier to reduce drivetrain noise and vibration to quiet your drivetrain
  
• Absorbs transmission shock load caused by the propeller and high speed gear changes. This helps to reduce and avoid costly transmission damage
  
• Fail safe design, both forward and reverse thrust is taken in compression from the steel straps, giving a durable design even in extreme conditions

PSS Shaft Seal 2-1/4" Shaft 3-1/2" Tube [02-214-312]

PSS Shaft Seal 2-1/4" Shaft 3-1/2" Tube

Shaft Diameter: 2-1/4"
Stern Tube Diameter (D): 3-1/2" to 3-5/8"
Total Length (A): 9.625"
Total Length (compressed) (Compressed A): 8.375"
Rotor Diameter (B): 4.2"
Carbon Cuff Diameter (C): 3.75"
Stern Cuff Length (E): 2"

The PSS Shaft Seal is the number one selling marine mechanical seal
worldwide and is installed as standard equipment by many of the worlds most
reputable boat builders / yards. The PSS Shaft Seal is also recognized as
the premiere retrofit (aftermarket) seal on the world market. Certified by
Bureau Veritas, ABS & Rina: Boat builders / yards recognize the advantages
and value of installing the PSS as it eliminates the maintenance, constant
adjustment & cost associated with traditional packing type glands. Aside
from these benefits, the PSS Shaft Seal helps to eliminate water in the
bilge (100% water tight) & wear to the propeller shaft. The PSS Shaft Seal
can be easily retrofitted and is available for shafts ranging from 3/4"
(20mm) to 6" (150mm).

The PSS Shaft Seal is a mechanical face seal that is created between
the flat surfaces of the rotating stainless steel rotor and the stationary
carbon flange. The stationary carbon flange is attached to the vessels stern tube with hose clamps and the carbon flange is attached to the front side of the bellows with hose clamps. The stainless steel rotor is fit on the shaft
in front of the carbon flange. The stainless steel rotor is used to compress the bellows before the collar is secured to the shaft with set-screws. This
compression (pre-load) maintains contact between the faces and allows the
PSS to compensate for the thrust from the propeller. The carbon flange is
bored larger than the shaft diameter allowing it to "float" around the shaft and thus compensate for most misalignment and vibration problems. The
stainless steel collar is sealed to the shaft by two o-rings that are
recessed into the bore of the collar. These o-rings rotate with the shaft
and stainless steel rotor and do not experience wear during operation.


**As with any rubber hose below waterline, the PSS bellows must be inspected on a regular basis for any sign of wear, aging or chemical deterioration.
PYI suggests as preventative maintenance that the PSS bellow be replaced in
six year intervals. During bellows replacement it is recommended the o-rings & set screws in the stainless steel rotor also be replaced."

Bellows may need to be more frequently inspected in an environment where
non-sealed batteries emit sulfuric acid. Sulfuric acid vapor will accelerate rubber deterioration, as will an ozonater.

The Maintenance Kit includes the items you need to properly maintain your
PSS Shaft Seal. Included in the kit is one (1) PSS bellow, two (2) O-rings,
five (5) set screws, four (4) new hose clamps and an allen key.
