The RPL35 Series drivelines were designed for demanding applications, such as heavy
service and downspeeding. These applications often place higher torque demands
on the drivetrain system. The RPL35 Series drivelines accommodate the increased
engine torques and distribute it more evenly throughout the system.
For more information on downspeeding, refer to Meritor Downspeeding Solutions spec
sheet (SP-1589).
Secure flange connections throughout the RPL35
Series drivelines accommodate high torques.
