1. What is GEN33024 Flywheel Flange used for?
The GEN33024 (also marked GN 33024) is a green plastic flange coupling used in aerial lift equipment, providing a connection between the engine flywheel and hydraulic pump.
2. Is it a direct replacement for Guardian 45FL-8?
Yes, it is a fully compatible replacement for the Guardian 45FL-8 coupling flange. It maintains similar dimensions, mounting style, and torque performance.
3. Which equipment models use this flange?
Common in Genie boom lifts and Terex scissor lifts, particularly those with small diesel engines and hydraulic systems.
4. What material is it made from?
This product is made from high-strength industrial plastic, chosen for its impact resistance, vibration damping, and temperature tolerance.
5. Why is it green?
The green color is a standard identifier for this model, making inventory control and part identification faster and easier.
6. Can it handle engine vibration?
Yes. It offers moderate vibration damping and good structural stability, making it ideal for rotating equipment subject to minor misalignment or torque fluctuations.
7. What is the difference between this and rubber couplings?
Rubber couplings may offer better vibration damping but are heavier and degrade faster. Plastic flanges like GEN33024 are lightweight, cost-effective, and easier to mold into precise OEM shapes.
8. Do you supply bulk orders or OEM versions?
Yes, we specialize in OEM coupling manufacturing and support custom branding, sizing, and materials for industrial clients.
9. Is this product in stock?
Typically, we maintain inventory for GEN33024 and similar high-demand models. For large quantities, please request a lead time quote.
10. Can I order a sample?
Yes, samples are available upon request. Please contact our sales team with your delivery address and application details.
11. How to install the GEN33024 flange?
Installation is straightforward:
-
Remove the old flange.
-
Align the GEN33024 with the flywheel bolt holes.

Couplings are divided into cross couplings, shell couplings, universal couplings, pin couplings, plum blossom couplings, star couplings, elastic couplings, etc. Mainly used in all aspects of machine tools.
Coupling is a commonly used component in mechanical products. It is used to connect two shafts or shafts and rotating parts, and in the process of transmitting motion and power, they rotate together without disengaging or changing the direction of rotation and torque. Some couplings also have functions such as compensating for the relative displacement of the two shafts and buffering and reducing vibration. In addition, some couplings can also double as a safety device to prevent overloading of the drive shaft.
With the development of industry and science and technology, the application of machinery in modern industry continues to expand, the types of couplings continue to increase, and the requirements for their performance are getting higher and higher. In order to improve the efficiency and reliability of the mechanical device, it is very important to ensure that the mechanical parts, especially the coupling, are of high quality. Therefore, although the coupling appears serialized and standardized products, due to the variety of machinery, and its load, speed, and working environment are different. Therefore, various couplings with different performances are also required to adapt to different working conditions and usage requirements. To this end, it is necessary to continuously develop new couplings and improve the original couplings.
FL Series Flywheel Coupling | Guardian Couplings
The FL is a two-piece flywheel coupling used on off-highway construction equipment such as skid steer loaders, aerial lifts, excavators, and many other mobile hydraulic applications. The FL product is our oldest line, and has decades of proven success in the field. Not only is the FL our oldest product line, it is our most economical design! The design consists of a glass reinforced nylon flywheel flange that will fit both SAE and metric flywheels. The mating hub is produced from sintered steel and can be used on both splined and straight shafts. The FL product is considered a torsionally stiff design, and does not require lubrication. This design is interchangeable with other popular coupling brands.
* MINIMUM SPACE – The entire coupling length is normally mounted inside the housing compartment requiring only a flat steel pump mounting plate which we also manufacture. Engine Housings also available for non-standard SAE engine housings for Kubota, Perkins, Ford, GM, Yanmar, Isuzu, and Deutz.
FREE AXIAL TRAVEL – Crowned teeth slide freely in the nylon spline with a +-.080″ axial travel. Any shaft float is absorbed by the coupling and not transmitted to the pump components.
* BLIND ASSEMBLY – Pump hub gear ring fits through the pilot hole of the plate. Faster assembly at lower cost and no inspection ports or hand holes necessary.
* CROWNED GEAR TEETH – Provides for angular misalignment, preventing angular force on the pump shaft bearings and seals.
* HEAT STABLE – Fiberglass reinforced nylon designed to operate in diesel engine ambients without air circulation. Dimensionally stable to 250°F.
