Description
Overview
The 32-Spline 1 3/8″ Solid Drive Shaft, 800 mm Length (Part Number: AM3104) delivers robust power transmission in marine driveline systems. Its solid, externally splined design distributes torque evenly across multiple spline teeth, ensuring reliable mechanical engagement. Engineers and technicians prefer this solid-spline solution when they require compact yet durable shaft coupling in forward/reverse gearbox configurations. The shaft can also be cut to length if required, giving installers additional flexibility during fitment.
Features
-
32 external splines provide excellent torque distribution over multiple contact points.
-
Solid design ensures strength and minimises torsional stress.
-
800 mm overall length suits extended shaft-coupling applications without the need for extensions.
-
Can be cut to length to suit custom driveline setups.
-
Compatible with standard spline-fit gearbox hubs and splined couplings.
Specifications and Materials
-
Spline count: 32 external splines.
-
Diameter: 1 3/8″ (external spline dimension).
-
Length: 800 mm overall.
-
Type: Solid splined shaft (internal material and steel grade not specified).
To avoid misalignment or vibration, verify shaft diameter and spline fitment before installation.
Compatibility and Fitment
This solid drive shaft (AM3104) fits marine drivetrains that employ 32-spline couplings on either gearbox input or output shafts. As a result, it serves as a direct replacement for worn shafts in matched spline systems. Furthermore, the standard 800 mm length works with common V-drive and twin-engine alignments without needing spacer adjustments. Where required, the shaft can be cut down to the precise length needed for custom installations.
Compliance and Safety
Adhere to marine installation protocols, such as aligning shafts precisely and torquing retaining components to specification. Always fit a secure coupling or safety retaining device to prevent shaft disengagement. For authoritative safety guidance on handling mechanical components, see: https://www.productsafety.gov.au
Marine Applications
Technicians commonly install this shaft during gearbox rebuilds or when upgrading propulsion components. Because splined drive systems handle torque loads more efficiently than keyway systems, they maintain engagement reliability under continuous high load and harsh marine conditions.
