Osculati Rubber Propeller Shaft Seal Version A with Water Lubrication Ø25–50.8 mm
Osculati Rubber Propeller Shaft Seal Version A is designed to provide protection against water seepage in marine propeller shaft installations. Manufactured from a special rubber compound resistant to salt water and lubricating grease, the seal combines a compact stuffing box construction with connections for external water lubrication and grease application.
The Osculati 52.330 series includes 11 configurations for metric and imperial propeller shaft diameters from 25 to 50.8 mm, with stuffing box mounting diameters from 43 to 70 mm.
Version A – Water Lubrication and Greasing Connections
Version A features two separate connections:
- Brass Hose Adaptor: Connection for external water lubrication.
- Greasing Aperture: Opening fitted with a brass cap for grease application.
A brass closing cap is supplied for the water connection when the hose adaptor is not used.
Saltwater and Grease-Resistant Rubber
The stuffing box is manufactured from a special type of rubber resistant to salt water and lubricating grease.
The sealing arrangement is designed to provide long-lasting protection against water seepage and requires low maintenance when correctly treated.
Water Lubrication and Cooling
The stuffing box normally operates below the waterline, where lubrication and cooling are provided by water.
For installations operating at or above the waterline, the manufacturer specifies that an external cooling water source is required.
AISI 316 Stainless Steel Clamp
The seal is supplied with an AISI 316 stainless steel clamp for securing the stuffing box in the corresponding shaft installation.
