Rigid Steel Coupling for 1 1/4 in Shafts

This Dayton 3ZN50 coupling connects two shafts that share the same 1 1/4 inch bore diameter. The one-piece carbon steel body is zinc plated for corrosion resistance in industrial power-transmission setups. It suits maintenance crews and OEM builders who need a fixed, zero-backlash joint between matched shafts.

1800 RPM and 1300 in-lb torque rating

The coupling is rated for a maximum speed of 1800 RPM and a maximum torque of 1300 in-lb. These two figures decide whether the part can handle the load and speed of your drivetrain without slipping or fatiguing. Verify both limits against your motor and driven equipment before specifying this coupling.

Keyed bores simplify alignment

Each bore is round with a 1/4 inch keyway machined to a depth of 1/8 inch, so standard keystock locks the hubs to the shafts and prevents rotational slip. The one-piece design means no bolts or clamps to tighten, but the shafts must be accurately aligned during installation because the rigid body cannot absorb angular or parallel misalignment.

Questions about this item

How does the 1,800 RPM rating affect the coupling when it is installed in a machine?

The 1,800 RPM limit is the maximum safe rotational speed for the carbon steel body; exceeding it risks vibration or fatigue failure in service.

What does the 1,300 in-lb torque rating cap in practice?

The 1,300 in-lb rating is the peak torque the keyed bores and zinc-plated steel can transmit without slipping or shearing the keyway.
