R & D Marine - Flexible Shaft Coupling - For 5" B/W, Hurth, 8HP/100RPM Capacity

Maximize Your Marine Performance: R&D Flexible Shaft Coupling for 5" B/W, Hurth

Introducing the cutting-edge R&D Flexible Shaft Coupling, specifically designed for 5" B/W, Hurth transmissions with an 8HP/100RPM capacity. This revolutionary coupling is engineered from a new type of polyurethane, offering unmatched toughness and resilience. Its contoured flexible disc is cleverly designed to accommodate bolt heads and flex freely, addressing any temporary misalignment caused by the engine or boat structure flexing. Whether facing forward or reverse thrust, the disc operates in compression between the half couplings, ensuring a fail-safe mechanism in case of disc failure. This design not only maintains drive in both directions but also significantly reduces vibration, isolates the shaft, and absorbs shock loads, making it an indispensable component for protecting your boat's drivetrain.

• Constructed from durable, new-type polyurethane for ultimate resilience
• Contoured disc design accommodates bolt heads and ensures free flexion for alignment
• Fail-safe feature with steel straps guarantees drive maintenance under all conditions
• Significantly reduces drivetrain noise and vibration for a smoother operation
• Protects against costly transmission damages by absorbing shock loads effectively

Technical Advancements for Uncompromised Safety

The R&D Marine Flexible Shaft Coupling stands out with its meticulous design, aimed at extending the lifespan of your vessel's drivetrain. By absorbing vibrations and temporary misalignments, it safeguards against the stress and strain that can lead to significant damage. The addition of metal compression straps ensures constant compression, enhancing the coupling's durability and reliability, especially in extreme marine conditions. This strategic design not only offers peace of mind but also contributes to a quieter and more stable marine experience.

Seamless Integration for Superior Performance

With dimensions tailored for 5" B/W, Hurth transmissions, this flexible shaft coupling is perfect for marine vessels requiring an 8HP/100RPM capacity. Its robust construction and innovative features provide a seamless fit between the transmission output flange and shaft coupling, optimizing your boat's performance and drivetrain longevity.

Many products sold by Apollo Lighting include a manufacturer's warranty covering defects in materials or workmanship. Warranty terms vary by brand, product category, and model, so eligibility, coverage duration, exclusions, and available remedies are determined by the applicable manufacturer. We recommend reviewing the warranty information provided with your product before installation or use, especially for marine electronics, navigation equipment, lighting, electrical systems, pumps, safety equipment, and other specialized marine products.

If you need warranty service, the claim must follow the process established by the manufacturer, authorized service center, or designated warranty provider. You may be asked for proof of purchase, a serial number, product registration, photos, maintenance or installation records, or other documentation. Apollo Lighting does not determine or modify a manufacturer's warranty coverage or final claim decision, but we are happy to help provide purchase information and direct you to the appropriate manufacturer or warranty resource.

Keep your receipt, product documentation, serial number information, and original packaging when practical. Damage caused by normal wear, misuse, improper installation, insufficient maintenance, corrosion, impact, unauthorized modifications, electrical issues, or operation outside the manufacturer's specifications may not be covered. Warranty claims are separate from standard returns, so a product that has been installed, used, or exposed to marine conditions may no longer qualify for return while still remaining eligible for evaluation under the manufacturer's applicable warranty.
