Transmission Accessories

Each one features substantial “Z” bar construction, constantly welded into one rigid part. Dual positioning screws allow greater versatility in shaft alignment. They incorporate special gussets and cross braces as well as heavier materials which provide superior strength characteristics necessary to handle motors in the 3000 to 7000 pound weight class.

The torque arm is used to resist torque developed by the gearbox. In other words, it prevents counter rotation of a shaft mounted speed reducer during operation of the application.

Die cast aluminum is a kind of aluminum wherein metals are molted under high pressure in the mold cavities. In the die casting process, the metals are hardened and the desired shapes are produced. Aluminum die casting can be made with the use of either hot chamber or cold chamber process.

A driveshaft is a cylindrical shaft that transmits torque from the engine to the wheels. They are most commonly found on rear-wheel drive vehicles and connect the rear of the transmission to the driveshaft.

In British English, the term "drive shaft" is restricted to a transverse shaft that transmits power to the wheels, especially the front wheels. A drive shaft connecting the gearbox to a rear differential is called a propeller shaft, or prop-shaft.

They can overcome problems of misalignment, absorb and isolate vibration, and simplify power transmission designs and applications. Elliott Flexible Shafts can easily withstand the shock of sudden load changes due to starting and stopping.
