9U-5717: Spline Shaft Shrink Tube

The Spline Shaft Shrink Tube is a protective component used to ensure safe assembly processes in drum propel piston motors. Its function is to prevent damage to the seals caused by sharp and irregular splines on the shaft during assembly. By covering the spline with shrink tubing, the tubing provides a smooth surface that minimizes friction and prevents the seal from tearing and wearing prematurely. The shrink tubing is applied by heating, which allows it to conform tightly to the shape of the spline, ensuring full protection. This process is necessary to maintain the integrity of seals, ensuring long-lasting performance and reducing the likelihood of leaks and failures in the motor. Attributes: • Protects seals from damage during assembly by covering spline edges. • Provided with an expanded diameter of 19.05 millimeters to ensure a proper fit over the spline shaft. • Provided with 1219.2 millimeter length to cover the extended sections of the shaft. • Maintains flexibility while offering high resistance to abrasion. Applications: The Spline Shaft Shrink Tube is used on the spline shaft of the drum propel piston motor to create a smooth barrier between the shaft and the seal, preventing the sharp edges of the spline from making direct contact with the seal damage during insertion.
