Marine Propeller Shaft
The Marine propeller shaft is also called the stern shaft, which is an important part of the marine propulsion system and transfers power from the engine to the propeller. It is generally supported by bearings, sealed with a packing box to prevent water from entering, and its end places the propeller, which rotates when the engine rotates.
The propeller shaft and the matching propeller shell hole should be checked before fitting, and ensure that the contact surface is evenly fitted on the whole length. When checking with coloring, it is required that there are no less than 3 points in the 25×25mm² area, and the contact points should be evenly distributed. The large end of the propeller shell hole with the shaft should be harder than the small end.
Overview
The marine propeller shaft enables propulsion. It operates underwater and must be designed to withstand harsh marine conditions. It can be oil and water lubricated to meet different demands of vessels.
The ship inspection code requires that the propeller shaft should be extracted to be repaired in the dock every three years. Users should check the scars and rust of the shaft neck, copper seal, ellipticity and taper limitation, and pay special attention to the crack damage of the propeller shaft cone.
