Flexible propeller shaft coupling with rubber bushings and integral thrust transmission, compensating misalignment and isolating gearbox vibration from the hull; 2.80–53.20 kNm.

Description

The VULKAN PROPFLEX S is a propeller shaft coupling that transmits torque and compensates misalignment through specially developed rubber bushings, providing noise damping well above conventional displacement couplings. In addition to the misalignment and vibration-isolation capabilities of the PROPFLEX N, the PROPFLEX S has integral thrust transmission to carry propeller thrust.

Key features

  • Drivetrain noise isolation with compensation of radial, axial and angular misalignment
  • Integral transmission of propeller thrust
  • Modular design and variable installation lengths
  • Part of an overall acoustic concept with VULKAN gearbox and engine mounts

Technical data

  • Torque range (TKN): 2.80 – 53.20 kNm
  • Speed range: 500 – 1,600 rpm

Applications

Flexibly mounted propulsion drives with the highest comfort requirements.
