Features & Benefits
The SPL250 Series construction makes the 250SC55009FR appropriate for high-torque driveline applications where a smaller driveline series may not provide sufficient capacity. Its short-couple configuration allows it to transmit power through installations with limited space while still accommodating drivetrain movement through the slip section.
Key advantages include:
- Genuine Dana Spicer heavy-duty driveline construction
- High-capacity SPL250 Series design
- Compact short-couple configuration
- Heavy-duty welded steel assembly
- More than 4.3 inches of available slip travel
- Designed to accommodate substantial driveline articulation
- 0-degree phasing for proper driveline geometry
- Finished in black for corrosion protection
- Designed as a complete replacement driveline assembly rather than individual loose components
- Suitable for demanding truck and vocational equipment applications
Dana states that its Spicer driveshaft assemblies are engineered and tested to meet or exceed OE performance requirements and are designed as drop-in replacement assemblies, reducing the amount of driveline assembly work required during installation.
