63375 Generac Generator Drive Coupler – Product Overview
The MTP6DZD Drive Coupler is a precision-engineered flexible coupling used in Generac generator assemblies to connect the prime mover (engine) to the alternator or generator head. This component plays a critical role in power generation systems by transmitting rotational energy while absorbing vibration and compensating for minor shaft misalignment.
In generator applications, consistent torque transfer and vibration control are essential for maintaining electrical output stability and protecting mechanical components. The MTP6DZD coupler is designed to operate under continuous load conditions, helping reduce mechanical stress on bearings, shafts, and mounts during startup, shutdown, and steady-state operation.
Key Features and Benefits
-
Generator-Specific Drive Coupler – Designed for engine-to-generator head connections in Generac generator systems.
-
Flexible Elastomeric Design – Absorbs torsional vibration and dampens shock loads generated during operation.
-
Smooth Torque Transmission – Maintains stable rotational transfer to support consistent electrical output.
-
Misalignment Compensation – Accommodates minor angular and parallel misalignment between engine and alternator shafts.
-
Protective Fail-Safe Function – Elastomer element helps protect expensive generator components in overload or fault conditions.
-
Heavy-Duty Construction – Built to withstand heat, vibration, and continuous-duty generator environments.
-
Low Maintenance Operation – No lubrication required; designed for long service intervals.
Functional Design and Performance
The 63375 generator coupler consists of precision-machined hubs paired with a resilient elastomer element that transmits torque while isolating vibration. This configuration allows the generator engine and alternator to remain mechanically decoupled from harmful torsional oscillations that commonly occur during load changes or startup events.
In generator systems, uncontrolled vibration can lead to premature bearing wear, shaft fatigue, and alignment drift. The elastomeric element in the MTP6DZD acts as a torsional buffer, smoothing rotational energy and maintaining mechanical balance throughout operation.
Its material composition is selected to resist oil exposure, elevated temperatures, and long operating cycles, making it suitable for standby, prime, and continuous power generator applications.
Applications and Compatibility
The 63375 Drive Coupler is used in Generac generator systems and compatible engine-driven generator assemblies, including:
-
Standby generators for residential, commercial, and industrial use
-
Industrial generator sets used for backup or prime power
-
Engine-driven alternator assemblies
-
Generator rebuilds and preventive maintenance programs
This coupler is intended as a direct replacement for original generator couplers specified in compatible Generac systems. Proper fitment ensures correct alignment, vibration isolation, and long-term generator reliability.

Performance Advantages in Generator Systems
The 63375 coupler is engineered to maintain smooth generator operation across varying electrical loads. By dampening torsional vibration, it reduces noise, limits mechanical stress, and helps preserve precise shaft alignment between the engine and generator head.
Using the correct generator-specific coupler is essential. Improper or generic couplers often fail to provide adequate damping, leading to increased vibration, reduced component life, and costly downtime. The MTP6DZD ensures reliable mechanical performance that supports consistent power output and long-term generator operation.
