Marine Counter Shaft
The marine counter shaft is the shaft segment between the thrust shaft tail flange and the propeller shaft head flange, which can be also called marine intermediate shaft. For medium engine room ships, the intermediate shafting is longer, and multiple intermediate shafts are usually set up, which is called long shafting.
For medium engine room ships with a longer intermediate shaft, there are multiple intermediate shafts, which is called long shaft system. The long shaft system can compensate for the effects of hull deformation.
The marine counter shaft is made of stainless steel, forged steel or alloy steel, with high precision and quality.
Overview
The intermediate shaft has both ends with large flanges which will be connected to other transmission shafts. It serves as a key point among the engine room and propeller shaft. For the effective and safe propulsion of ships and vessels, proper and regular maintenance and inspection is necessary. Marine counter shafts are typically crafted from robust materials like stainless steel or high-strength alloys to withstand the harsh marine environment, including exposure to saltwater and high mechanical stresses. They often feature gears and bearings designed to handle substantial loads and ensure smooth, efficient power transmission.
Features:
Good transmission performance
Durability and reliability
Good water tightness
Robust and exquisite design
Can be customized according to your needs.
The marine counter shaft is an indispensable component that plays a vital role in the reliability, efficiency, and maneuverability of marine vessels, contributing significantly to the safety and operational effectiveness of maritime transportation and operations.
