Very professional looking unit - I would like to know more however!
Like what sort of bearings are used.
What planetary is used.
Are the gears helical or straightcut.
What sort of bearings are used where,
What sort of damper is used.
and finally the price.

Paul,
As I advised I am forwarding the info on the PSRU, which I sent a picture previously.
Question - What is the advantage in the (back to back) angular ball thrust bearings as opposed to
the tapered roller bearings.

From:Our Psru is built around the super duty Ford C6 panetary gear.The gears are helical cut,The
bearings are angular ball thrustbearings 45MM I.D.These bearings have been load tested at 21,700
lbs for 1000.000 revolutions.there are two of these bearings back to back next to the
propflange.Another carrier bearing of the same size is mounted at other end of the propshaft. The
propshaft is hollow.The harmonic damper is part of the flywheel which works out very indeed! The
whole thing weigh's in at 42 lbs.price 2800 US  Hoping this will answer your questions for now
