6-53-151 UDS Splined Midship Tube Shaft 10x1.953" Splines 3.500" x 0.156" Tube

The 6-53-151 is a UDS splined midship tube shaft with 10 splines at 1.953" diameter. It fits 3.500" OD tube with a 0.156" wall, has a butt diameter of 3.188", a spline length of 2.875", an end-to-weld length of 5.156", and a bearing journal diameter of 1.968".

Specifications

• Part Number: 6-53-151
• Brand: UDS
• Splines Count x Diameter: 10 x 1.953"
• Spline Length: 2.875"
• Tube OD: 3.500"
• Tube Wall: 0.156"
• Butt Diameter: 3.188"
• End to Weld: 5.156"
• Bearing Diameter: 1.968"

When fitting the 6-53-151, confirm the driveshaft tube OD is 3.500" with a 0.156" wall — this is a heavier wall thickness than the 0.083" wall used on the 3-53-1821 (also 3.500" OD). The 3.188" butt diameter is the weld shoulder; square-cut and deburr the tube before welding. The 1.968" bearing journal is larger than the 1.574" journal on the 3-53-1821 — verify the center support bearing bore ID on your application matches 1.968". The 6-53-151 uses a 10x1.953" spline — a larger diameter than the 10x1.500" splines on the 3-53-1821 and 3-53-1781. This heavier-wall, larger-spline configuration is suited for higher-torque applications. Confirm the mating slip yoke or stub shaft spline specification is 10 splines at 1.953" (the attribute lists "10 X 1.953" while the product name states 1.958" — use the spec you can verify against your mating component) before ordering the 6-53-151.
