VULKAN PROPFLEX N Flexible Displacement Coupling
Flexible displacement coupling using rubber bushings to transmit torque and compensate misalignment while isolating gearbox vibration from the hull; 2.80–53.20 kNm.
Description
The VULKAN PROPFLEX N is a flexible displacement coupling in which torque is transmitted and misalignment compensated through specially developed rubber bushings. These give noise-damping properties well above conventional displacement couplings, isolating gearbox vibration from the ship structure.
PROPFLEX N offers excellent misalignment capability combined with vibration isolation. The PROPFLEX family also includes PROPFLEX S (with integral thrust transmission) and PROPFLEX T (PROPFLEX N combined with a thrust bearing).
Key features
- Drivetrain noise isolation for high comfort requirements
- Compensation of radial, axial and angular misalignment, reducing restoring forces
- 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.
