Features and Benefits

  • Designed to fit the most common imperial and metric drive shaft sizes
  • Pre-assembled to save installation time
  • High strength drive shaft saddle allows for installation with an impact wrench without breaking the saddle
  • Drive shaft orientation enables centering of both 3/4″ and 7/8″ drive shaft sizes allowing for concentric rotation, extending the life of the puck insert
  • UV stabilized urethane puck dampens center drive start up torque, extending final drive gearbox life
  • Alignment bolt holds insert in place and maintains alignment under extreme loads
  • UMC® SQUEX-Bolts (Square Neck – Hex Head) for easy one wrench installation

UMC® was the first to introduce the shock attenuating coupler with a flexible insert. This drastically improved gearbox life and significantly reduced drive train maintenance.
