VULKAN PROPFLEX T Propeller Shaft Coupling

Double-cardanic propeller shaft coupling combining a PROPFLEX N with a thrust bearing that takes the full propeller thrust, for optimal noise reduction; 2.80–53.20 kNm.

Description

The VULKAN PROPFLEX T combines a PROPFLEX N flexible coupling with a thrust bearing that takes the complete propeller thrust. This double-cardanic displacement coupling gives the best noise-reduction results in the PROPFLEX range. Rubber bushings transmit torque, compensate misalignment and isolate gearbox vibration from the ship structure; combined with elastic mounts it forms a key element of an overall acoustic concept.

Key features

  • Full propeller thrust absorption via integrated thrust bearing
  • Drivetrain noise isolation for high comfort requirements
  • Compensation of radial, axial and angular misalignment
  • Modular design and variable installation lengths

Technical data

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