Features
PROPFLEX is a SHAFTLINE COUPLING placed behind marine gearbox, transmitting propeller thrust and pull directly
compensation a radial, axial and angular misalignments
single and double version intermediate shaft for flexible mounted gearboxes available
no direct contact between any metal parts in the coupling
excellent noise reduction and vibration isolation
possibility of radial removal without movement of the connected machinery
Description
The PROPFLEX N coupling has been designed and developed to be installed on board of pleasure crafts, where comfort of the passengers requires a high vibrations isolation degree. It has to be positioned between the gearbox and propeller shaft in order to reduce the vibrations and noise transmission coming from the shaft line itself. It can compensate axial, radial and lateral misalignments and thanks to its modular design can be supplied in different lengths and complete of spools and hubs to match with the most known gearboxes and propulsion systems. It is particulary suitable for all application where the propeller thrust is already absorbed by the propulsion system. As there is no direct contact between metal parts, the PROPFLEX N coupling is a noise isolating coupling. Thanks to its own design, the PROPFLEX N coupling can be dismounted radially, without moving the connected machineries. Also available in steel and aluminium execution.
