Python Drive Complete Set - P200-W, Shaft Diameter 50-60 mm, Max. Thrust 30 kN

The Python-Drive is a full drive system engineered for yachts, sloops, and workboats of all sizes. When installed, periodic engine alignment to the propeller shaft is no longer required, and troublesome axial drive reactions between the engine and propeller shaft are eliminated. The thrust pressure is smoothly transferred to the hull of the boat using a special suspension system in the thrust bearing mounted in rubber.

The heart of the Python-Drive system is its maintenance-free CV joint drive shaft, which is designed to work efficiently across all versions. The thrust bearing in this system is large and maintenance-free, ensuring reliability. The thrust bearing is mounted via a clamping ring, which centers the propeller shaft directly behind the CV joint drive shaft, offering excellent stability.

One of the key benefits of the Python-Drive system is its ability to maintain a constant rotation rate of the propeller shaft, even at unequal angles. This greatly reduces wear on the rotating parts of the drive system. The system also boasts a short installation length, making it easy to integrate into various vessel configurations. It comes with all necessary installation materials, including adapter flanges for the most common gearbox types, a homokinetic drive shaft, a robust thrust bearing unit, as well as all bolts, nuts, lock washers, and rubbers to absorb thrust.

The Python-Drive is available for shaft diameters ranging from 19 mm to 100 mm, with options for inch sizes. On request, conical shaft fits and separate CV kinetic drive shafts for torques up to 1,500 Kgm (approximately 14.7 kNm) are also available. The thrust bearings can be mounted separately at any point along the propeller shaft for further customization.

To choose the correct Python-Drive, the following formula should be applied:

• (A:B) x 9680 x C = propeller shaft torque in Nm
• A = maximum power of the motor in kW
• B = maximum speed of the motor
• C = reduction of gearbox

• Type: P200-W
• Max. Shaft Torque: 1960 Nm
• Shaft Diameter: 50-60 mm
• Max. Thrust: 30 kN
