Description
Overview of the 1310 Flange Coupling
The 1310 coupling for 1 ¼″ input shafts (Part Number AM1012) is a zinc-coated flange designed for gearbox assemblies in marine environments. It provides a secure fit and, consequently, ensures reliable torque transfer while resisting corrosion over time.
Key Features of the 1310 Coupling
-
Zinc coating improves resistance to saltwater exposure.
-
Machining accuracy results in 51 mm × 61 mm bolt-hole centres.
-
The ¼″ keyway provides consistent shaft alignment.
-
As a result, installation is straightforward and dependable.

Compatibility and Fitment of the Flange Coupling
This component matches gearboxes using a 1310-series flange with a 1 ¼″ shaft. Therefore, it is important to confirm both shaft and keyway dimensions before installation. Proper alignment reduces wear and, in turn, extends the lifespan of the gearbox.
Compliance and Safety
Installers should tighten bolts evenly; otherwise, distortion may occur. In addition, alignment must be checked carefully to avoid stress on the gearbox. For guidance on marine hardware standards, see: https://www.productsafety.gov.au
Marine Applications of the 1310 Flange Coupling
Because marine gearboxes experience vibration and constant load, zinc-coated couplings resist deterioration and, consequently, maintain alignment under pressure. Furthermore, they support dependable torque transfer in demanding conditions.
