Description
Why Choose 300M/S155?
For the most demanding motorsport applications, Satchell Engineering offers driveshafts manufactured from 300M/S155, a premium high-strength alloy steel used where exceptional strength, toughness and fatigue resistance are required.
Its combination of properties makes 300M/S155 particularly well suited to highly stressed competition drivetrain components, where driveshafts can be subjected to repeated shock loading and high torque.
For customers looking for the ultimate specification, we manufacture our 300M/S155 driveshafts in-house from bare bar, including all machining and spline production, before specialist heat treatment is carried out by a well-respected UK heat-treatment company.
300M/S155 is our premium choice for serious competition applications where strength, durability and reliability are paramount.
High-Strength Alloy Steel Driveshafts
For applications where 300M/S155 is not required, Satchell Engineering also manufactures competition driveshafts from high-strength, through-hardening alloy steel.
This provides an excellent combination of strength, toughness and durability, making it a cost-effective choice for a wide range of rally, race, hillclimb, sprint and other motorsport applications.
As with our 300M/S155 shafts, each driveshaft is manufactured in-house from bare bar, including all machining and spline production, before being professionally heat treated by a well-respected UK heat-treatment company.
Any Make or Model
Because we manufacture our driveshafts in-house from bare bar, we are not restricted to standard production applications. We can manufacture bespoke driveshafts to suit virtually any vehicle, gearbox, differential, hub or CV joint combination.
Whether you require a replacement competition shaft, a custom length for a modified track width, or a completely bespoke drivetrain installation, we can manufacture the shaft to suit your application.
What We Need From You
To manufacture your bespoke driveshafts accurately, we require either dummy driveshaft bars to copy or accurate measurements of the required finished shaft lengths.
To reproduce the correct spline profiles, we will also require one inner and one outer CV joint. Alternatively, just the female splined centre sections from the CV joints can be supplied.
Using these components and dimensions, we can manufacture your new driveshafts to the required length, spline configuration and material specification.
If you’re unsure how to measure your driveshafts or what components to send, please contact us first and we’ll advise you on the best approach for your application.
Typical manufacturing lead times are 4-5 weeks.
NB We have a wide range of Peugeot/Citroen shafts in stock – to suit both standard and wide track suspension kits.
