protects transmission thrust bearings and seals from stress and wear due to shaft misalignment
handles parallel and angular misalignment
allows no metal to metal contact, preventing shaft rumble from reaching engine
requires no lubrication or maintenance
permits simple installation; no shaft shortening or change of shaft location
allows engines on rubber mounts to float freely
dampens oscillating shaft vibration in diesel installations
enables engine alignment without special tools
Neoprene rubber trunnions transmit thrust and torsional loads
The trunnions can easily and economically be replaced in case of damage
