Installation Instructions
An auxiliary power shaft transmits torque from the power source to the driven ac-
cessory. The shaft must be capable of transmitting the maximum torque and RPM
required of the accessory, plus any shock loads that develop.
An auxiliary power shaft operates through constantly relative angles between
the power source and the driven accessory, therefore, the length of the auxiliary
power shaft must be capable of changing while transmitting torque. This length
change, commonly called “slip movement”, is caused by movement of the power
train due to torque reactions and chassis deflections.
Joint operating angles are very important in an auxiliary power joint application.
In many cases, the longevity of a joint is dependent on the operating angles. (See
chart below)
This information is limited to 1000 through 1310 series applications. For
applications requiring a series larger than 1310, contact your local Chelsea
distributor.
Determining Shaft Type
1. Solid or tubular?
a. In applications requiring more than 1000 RPM or where the
application necessitates a highly balanced auxiliary power shaft, a
tubular shaft should be used.
b. Spicer’s solid shafting auxiliary power joints are designed for 1000 or
less RPM intermittent service such as:
Driving small hydraulic pumps
Driving winches
Driving low speed product pumps
2. Joint Series should be determined using the chart on the following page.
