Vetus KSTEUN40A K40A Flexible Engine Mount for 3-Cylinder Marine Diesel Engines
The Vetus KSTEUN40A flexible engine mount is specifically engineered for lightweight vessels fitted with modern 3-cylinder marine diesel engines. It features a relatively soft, 50° Shore rubber compound that provides excellent vibration damping performance. The mount incorporates internal buffers to limit excessive engine movement during start-up or shutdown, and is additionally protected against overload and shearing forces. These characteristics make it suitable for applications requiring both vibration isolation and controlled dynamic behavior.
