Product Description
DAM Quick 100-437 Axle, Complete (Main Spool Shaft)
Restore Perfect Alignment and Smooth Oscillation
Eliminate spool wobble and restore the fluid winding action of your vintage reel with the DAM Quick 100-437 Axle, Complete. This central shaft is the structural backbone of the DAM Quick 220 and 221 series. It runs vertically through the pinion gear and body, supporting the spool at the top and connecting to the oscillation mechanism at the bottom.
On vintage reels, the main axle is frequently the victim of impact damage. If a reel is dropped on its spool, the axle can bend, causing it to bind inside the pinion gear. This results in a "tight" spot during retrieval, uneven line lay, or a spool that wobbles visibly. Replacing a compromised shaft with this precision-ground, hardened steel component ensures your reel oscillates freely and your drag system has a stable platform to operate on.
Compatible Models
This part is precision-manufactured specifically for the chassis dimensions of the following vintage DAM Quick models:
-
Quick 220 (Standard Series)
-
Quick 221 (High Speed Series)
Key Features
-
Precision Ground: Manufactured to exact straightness tolerances to slide friction-free through the pinion gear and housing bushings.
-
High-Strength Steel: Hardened to resist bending under the heavy load of a fighting fish or drag pressure.
-
Oscillation Interface: Designed to mate securely with the oscillation slide for reliable vertical lift.
-
Spool Support: Provides the rigid post required for the spool and drag stack to sit level.
Technical Specifications & Schematics
Replacing the main axle involves disassembling the gear box to detach the shaft from the oscillation slide. To view the exact connection points and assembly order, please consult the detailed PDF schematics for your specific model at www.reelschematic.com.
-
Installation Tip: The axle must be perfectly straight to function. Before installing, ensure the Oscillation Slide (100-433) is clean and that the connecting screw is tightened securely. A bent axle cannot be straightened reliably; replacement is always the best option.
