R & D Flexible Shaft Coupling f/B/W, Hurth - 3HP/100PRM Capacity

The R & D Flexible Shaft Coupling f/B/W, Hurth is a marine drivetrain component designed for small to mid-sized inboard and sterndrive engines. It operates effectively at a maximum power rating of 3 horsepower and a rotational speed of 100 RPM. This coupling is essential for ensuring smooth power delivery in various marine applications.

This flexible coupling serves as a critical link between the engine's output shaft and the transmission system, absorbing vibrations and accommodating minor misalignments that occur in boat propulsion systems. Its construction allows for axial, radial, and angular misalignment, which is common in marine installations due to hull flex and running conditions.

Ideal for both new builds and retrofit applications, the R & D Flexible Shaft Coupling is particularly beneficial for boaters maintaining or upgrading a Hurth transmission system on smaller vessels. Weighing just 2.35 pounds and featuring compact dimensions, it installs easily without extensive modifications, ensuring reliability and safety in marine operations.
