Borgeson 314300 Steering Coupler

Steering Coupler

Steering Coupler; Steel; 1 in. -48 Spline X 1 1/4 in. Smooth Bore;

Using a 2" straight extension, called a coupler, to extend the steering box, R&P shaft or the column shaft, can sometimes eliminate a universal joint. The coupler can be welded or pinned to the un-splined end of a shaft. The 1"- 48 and 1" DD couplers have a 1-1?4" hole that will accept either an adapter to reduce inside diameter to 3/4" smooth or another splined or 3/4" DD coupler. The coupler assembly would have to be pinned and/or welded together. Welding the coupler is acceptable because there are no moving parts to damage, and the coupler's steel is less susceptible to heat damage from welding. Couplers are available in the same spline and Double D sizes as our universal joints. Couplers and adapters are available in steel and stainless steel only.

The Borgeson Universal Company has been manufacturing steering universal joints and components for the industrial, automotive, military and aerospace markets since 1914. Purchased by the present owners in 1982, Borgeson continued to develop and refine our original needle bearing universal joint into the finest and strongest joint you can buy. Seeking to expand, Borgeson purchased Mullins steering gears in 2001 and combined the two businesses into one central, 50,000 square foot modern manufacturing facility. Borgeson has continued to develop and produce the most dependable steering components available.
