Tol-O-Matic's Float-A-Shaft "floats" on rotating
shafts. No other design has the versatility, durability, safety, or the
ease of operation as the Float-A-Shaft.
Float-A-Shaft is a universal right angle gear drive coupling. It
consists of two 45° helical gears that mesh at right angles, designed to
turn power around any corner. Float-A-Shaft can be operated in either
direction and can slide axially along the drive or driven shaft. A
lightweight aluminum housing encloses the gears, serving as a structural
support and a lubricant reservoir. The gears mount directly on the
shafts through keyways in the gears and shafts. These rugged and durable
hardened helical gears have been field-proven for over 35 years,
assuring dependable operation. Float-A-Shaft's unique floating design
maintains perfect alignment. It also eliminates dangerous chain sprocket
drives and the additional adjustments required for chain drive
applications.
Float-A-Shafts are available in either a low torque journal bearing
series or a high torque sealed roller bearing series. Maximum speed on
these units is 500RPM.
