Hayward INTER GEAR SHAFT

The Hayward Inter Gear Shaft is a small but critical support component within the drive system of certain Hayward pool cleaners, providing the central axis on which intermediate gears rotate. By keeping these gears properly aligned and reducing lateral movement, the shaft helps maintain smooth power transfer from the turbine to the cleaner’s motion‑control mechanisms. Its durable, corrosion‑resistant construction allows it to withstand constant exposure to treated water, mechanical stress, and the repetitive cycling of daily operation. When worn or bent, it can lead to irregular movement or gear noise, making timely replacement important for restoring consistent performance. Because it is a compact metal or reinforced polymer rod, the estimated weight generally falls in the range of 0.02 to 0.06 pounds.
