The 3101-282 Companion Flange is engineered for precision fitment in driveline assemblies, particularly with the Ford 7.5 differential. This flange features a spline diameter of 1.218 inches and a spline count of 28, which ensures a robust connection to the mating components. The dual bolt pattern enhances compatibility, making it a versatile choice for various applications.
Critical dimensions include a hub diameter of 1.812 inches and a pilot diameter of 2.000 inches. These measurements are essential for maintaining alignment and reducing vibration during operation. A through hole of 1.252 inches allows for easy installation and integration with other driveline components.
When installing the 3101-282, ensure that the mating surfaces are clean and torque the bolts in a star pattern to achieve even pressure. It’s also important to check the face runout to prevent vibration issues that can arise from misalignment.
- Dual bolt pattern for enhanced compatibility
- 1.218″ spline diameter for secure fit
- 28 splines for robust connection
- 1.812″ hub diameter for proper alignment
- Installation tip: torque bolts in a star pattern
In summary, the 3101-282 is a reliable and essential component for anyone working with Ford 7.5 differentials or similar applications. Its design minimizes the risk of failure and ensures a smooth operation within the driveline.
