Model FDS-B

Floating Drive Shaft Type B

The Floating Drive Shaft Model “B” consists of a tubular Drive shaft with Bushing Hubs on each end engaging with Pin Adapters that bolt on to Rigid Hubs. This allows for quick retrofitting of a Gear, Grid or Disc Coupling to the Frontline Pin & Bush design using the existing Rigid Hubs. This arrangement can accommodate Parallel, Axial and Angular Misalignment.

NO LUBRICATION REQUIRED

The only maintenance is sporadic replacement of Pins & Bushings.

EASY TO MAINTAIN

Pins & Bushings can be replaced in a fraction of the time required to maintain a Grid, Gear or Disc Coupling.
