This is a replacement drive shaft for 36" and 48" PolarCool belt drive evaporative cooling fans that use flange bearing internal supports. If your shaft is worn, bent, or the keyways are chewed up, this is the direct-fit part you need.
Note: If you would like to review the manufacturer Product Specifications, Warranty, Brochure, etc., for this system, please refer to the "Resources (System Manuals and Warranty)" Tab above on this page.
This shaft is cold rolled steel, cut to length with keyways already machined in for the motor and propeller pulleys. That precision matters — a shaft that's off-spec on length or keyway placement leads to pulley misalignment, belt wear, and vibration you'll be chasing for months. It's built as a direct-fit replacement for PolarCool 36" and 48" belt drive fans using flange bearing internal supports, so you're not modifying anything to make it work.
