Universal joint driveshafts afford the maximum range of engine and drive placements and operating speeds. The inherent ability of universal joint driveshafts to operate at angles from zero to many degrees coupled with length compensation of several inches, make universal joint driveshafts an excellent choice for many vessels. As well as universal joint driveshafts we also provide CV joint and flexible element driveshafts for marine propulsion systems.
Lightweight composite tubing is available for most of our couplings, reducing weight and eliminating support bearings.
