Constructed from alloy steel with an outer chrome finish, it’s engineered for workshop upgrades and repair jobs where accurate fit, durability and a limited envelope are required. The coupling supports up to 4000 rpm and is suited to applications from automated parking lifts to custom off-road steering shafts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat sizes and splines does this RABROPAR coupling accept?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe unit has a 3\/4\" maximum bore at both ends: one end is 36-spline and the opposite is a 3\/4\" double-D profile.
