Description

Teignbridge supplies propeller shaft couplings in tapered and clamp types, made to fit the output flange of any gearbox.

Tapered couplings

  • Machined to close tolerances for concentricity and flange squareness
  • When supplied with shafting, the coupling taper is bedded to the shaft at the factory to at least 70% contact (checked with engineers' blue), and the key and keyway fit is inspected
  • When a coupling is supplied on its own, the taper must be checked and scraped on site to at least 70% contact, and the key fit inspected

Clamp-type couplings

  • Allow the shaft length to be adjusted at installation, so the builder can make small changes to engine and propeller positions
  • Supplied for installations above 400 bhp
