Design variations Application examples:

Standard flange designs are based
on SAEJ620c flywheels but special
sizes are available upon request.
All shaft designs can be accomo-
dated as the hubs are made of high
grade steel and splined, tapered
(including oil injection fitted) and
parallel shafts can be designed.
Detailed drawings of custom-
ized coup­ lings for all important
marine gear series are available on
request.
Fixed or floating splined input shafts
can be accomodated, as the floating
spline design has an integral axial
location with thrust capacity. Both
designs are of the same overall
dimensions.
Couplings are uni-directional based
on CCW rotation (viewing the fly-
wheel), however sizes 420 and 520
are also available for CW rotation.
The fail safe feature can easily be
removed, if it is not wanted.
