Spicer engineers have always recommended safe manufacturing practices when building or
repairing driveshafts.
Over the years they have stressed building safe driveshafts that are ALWAYS the correct
length and never capable of approaching their critical speed. CVSP has distributed tens of
thousands of our familiar driveshaft speed calculators, Form no.J310-13, to you and your
customers.
Our engineers have improved our driveshaft speed calculator again; making it even easier to
use. The enclosed, bulk quantity of Form no. J3253 is the latest and most up-to-date
information we have on the relationship between driveshaft style, length, and tube size and
our engineering recommended driveshaft “SAFE OPERATING SPEED/RPM.”
There are new instructions on the use of this calculator, so please make sure your driveline
personnel are brought up to “speed”. When you begin using this calculator, you will be able
to calculate the SAFE OPERATING RPM of any driveshaft you are working on.
Please discard your old calculators, Form number J310-13 and begin using the new
calculator, Form number J3253, immediately. Please pass on one of our new, easy to use
calculators to EVERY one of your customers that build driveshafts.
If you need additional copies of this valuable tool, please contact customer service at 800-
621-8084 or fax your request to 800-332-6124. If you need more than the set maximum
quantities allowed (25) or would like to change your initial mailing quantity for driveline
literature, please contact your CVSP sales representative.
