GF55-L Driveflex Steel Pilot Bore Hub - Long Hub
GF55-L Driveflex Steel Pilot Bore Hub - Long Hub
The GF55-L Driveflex Steel Pilot Bore Hub is a precision-engineered steel hub designed for use with nylon sleeve gear couplings in heavy-duty torque transmission applications. This long hub variant features a 25mm pilot bore and accommodates a maximum shaft size of 55mm, making it ideal for larger industrial drive systems requiring robust and reliable coupling solutions.
Key Features:
- Brand: Driveflex – trusted leader in coupling solutions
- Material: High-quality steel construction for superior durability and strength
- Max Bore Size: 55mm – accommodates larger shaft diameters for heavy-duty applications
- Pilot Bore: 25mm precision pilot hole for accurate alignment and secure shaft connection
- Hub Length: 110mm long hub design for enhanced stability and support
- Pilot Bore Hub Design: Ensures precise centering, optimal load distribution, and secure torque transmission
Performance Benefits:
The GF55-L combines precision pilot bore engineering with flexible nylon sleeve technology to deliver:
- Smooth, efficient power transmission
- Compensation for angular, parallel, and axial shaft misalignment
- Vibration isolation and noise dampening
- Maintenance-free operation in nylon sleeve coupling assemblies
- Positive torque transmission without slip
Ideal Applications:
This hub is perfect for use in:
- Connecting large drive shafts in industrial machinery
- Motor-to-pump and motor-to-gearbox connections in heavy-duty operations
- Industrial machinery and power transmission systems
- Hydraulic equipment and pump drives
- High-torque drive applications requiring robust coupling solutions
- Variable speed and misaligned shaft systems
Important Note: To create a complete coupling assembly, you will need to purchase two GF55-L hubs (one for each shaft) and one compatible nylon sleeve. This hub is one component of the complete Driveflex coupling system.
