Aquadrive HDL48.690 Flanged – Heavy Duty Line Anti-Vibration Thrust Bearing System, Max Torque 12240 Nm
The Aquadrive HDL48.690 Flanged is a Heavy Duty Line propulsion antivibration system designed to eliminate the transfer of propeller thrust and drivetrain vibrations from the propulsion shaft to the engine and vessel hull. By integrating a thrust bearing housing with a constant velocity (CV) joint, the system allows the engine to move freely on flexible mounts while the propeller thrust forces are absorbed by the Aquadrive unit mounted to the vessel structure.
This configuration reduces structural vibration and noise, improves onboard comfort, and simplifies engine alignment during installation. The system uses the CV48 constant velocity joint and a flanged output connection, making it suitable for marine propulsion systems operating under high torque and thrust loads.

Notes
- Rated power values are based on optimum conditions with a 2° angle for each CV joint.
- If the CV joint operates at an angle greater than 2°, the maximum permitted power must be reduced.
- Typical reduction is approximately 8–9% for each additional degree over 2°.
- The maximum allowable joint angle is approximately 5–8° depending on shaft rpm.
