TEMPLATE SHAFT ASS’Y COUPLING Komatsu Forklift FB10M/13M-12
Overview
The TEMPLATE SHAFT ASS’Y, COUPLING is a replacement coupling shaft assembly for Komatsu forklifts. It joins the coupling halves in the drive line, transferring torque smoothly between connected shafts while helping absorb minor misalignment and vibration. When a coupling shaft wears, operators often notice driveline noise, juddering under load or uneven power transfer. Each assembly from forkliftpartssearch.com is matched to the original fitment data for the models listed below.

Quality and Reliability
A coupling shaft works in a demanding environment of torque peaks, stop-start duty cycles and constant vibration. The TEMPLATE SHAFT ASS’Y, COUPLING is produced to match the dimensions, mounting points and function of the original Komatsu component, with materials selected for the loads these trucks carry in daily material-handling work. Accurate machining helps keep driveline vibration low, supporting smoother operation and reducing unnecessary stress on adjacent drivetrain parts. Replacing the assembly at the first signs of wear also helps prevent secondary damage to surrounding components.
Installation and Maintenance Tips
Fitting a coupling shaft assembly should follow good workshop practice:
- Disconnect the power source and support the truck securely before starting work.
- Inspect the removed assembly for cracks, worn splines, scoring or excessive play.
- Check the alignment of the connected shafts; misalignment is a leading cause of premature coupling wear.
- Torque all fasteners to the values given in the Komatsu service manual for your model.
- Re-check the coupling after the first working hours and inspect it at regular service intervals.
We recommend installation by a qualified forklift technician familiar with your truck’s service documentation.
