Hi Reuben,
Thank you! That helps a lot.
I was trying to get away from machining a keyway by bolting onto the coupling - the keyway would be much more costly and time consuming.?
I totally agree with the multi-belt idea too. If I can have a split pulley, then maintenance of it is easy and having a few spare belts makes the installation considerably more robust. If I can¡¯t split the pulley, it¡¯s probably ok as I don¡¯t expect it to go too wrong regularly (eek!).
Could you find the companies who sell the packs? Thunderstruck do so for reduction ¡°box¡± but don¡¯t assume it¡¯s a parallel Installation, instead it¡¯s for direct connection to the prop shaft it seems.
Thanks

A 1¡± clogged belt is OK for 10 kW. That¡¯s what I have. Perhaps you¡¯ll need the shaft pulley aft of the coupling - you¡¯ll need to pull the shafts and have them machined for the pulley key way. I¡¯d buy several extra belts and store them in place around the shaft so if you need to replace a belt, you won¡¯t need to undo the coupling.?
ive seen some companies that sell an aftermarket add on for a parallel system. Includes everything you need.?
