ATU5125 – Tubing – Tube Dia 5.000″ – Tube Length 80″ – Tube Wall 0.125 – T6061-T6

The ATU5125 driveshaft tube is the raw tube stock for custom or replacement driveshaft fabrication. It's aluminum alloy — 5.000"" OD x 125" wall — sold per foot and cut to your specification. The ATU5125 driveshaft tube is the starting material for a build; the yokes, u-joints, and balance work come after you've verified this tube diameter is correct for your application's torque load and critical speed.

Atu5125 Driveshaft Tube — Aluminum Specifications

The ATU5125 driveshaft tube specs: 5.000"" OD x 125" wall. 6061-T6. Aluminum alloy — lightweight, corrosion resistant, requires proper MIG/TIG procedure. Significantly reduces rotating mass, relevant on high-RPM or fuel-sensitive builds. Wall thickness determines torque capacity and critical speed rating. Thicker wall handles more torque but adds rotating weight — rotating weight matters more for RPM limits than static weight does, because it affects the critical speed calculation directly.

Before cutting the ATU5125 driveshaft tube to length, confirm the butt diameter of your weld yoke matches the tube OD. The yoke butt slides into or over the tube end — a loose fit here produces a concentric weld joint only if you're lucky. Measure both, cut clean, tack before full weld.
