Part finished shafts
Where the precise shaft length can not be determined
until the engine has been fitted in the boat, propeller
shafts are sometimes supplied with excess length, to be
completed locally.
In these cases a clamp type coupling (A) should be used,
and it is not necessary to machine a shoulder on the shaft
end to take forward thrust. It is good practice however
to use one of the methods described above to provide a
safeguard against loss of the shaft when going astern.
Flexible couplings
Elasticity may be incorporated in the connection between
the gearbox output flange and the propeller shaft by
means of a flexible coupling (
B1). This type of coupling
is not intended for use with continuous misalignment, but
will cater for momentary deflections, due for example
to the effect of shock loadings on the anti-vibration
mounts supporting the engine. The flexible coupling is
sandwiched between the gearbox output flange and the
shaft coupling.
Couplings can be supplied to suit most of the marine
transmissions that may be specified with the engine.
