All VETUS propeller shafts are made of stainless steel type “Duplex 1-4462”. In comparison with stainless steel materials like AISI 316 and Aquamet 17 or 22, the corrosion resistance of “Duplex 1-4462” is much greater.

In addition, the tensile strength of “Duplex 1-4462” is about 30% greater than AISI 316, and its hardness is approximately 40% higher. It is precisely this high degree of hardness that gives “Duplex 1-4462” its excellent running properties in (rubber) bearings.

One end of a VETUS propeller shaft is machined with a 1:10 taper and a keyway as standard. Also supplied is a matching key with dimensions according to ISO 4566, a tab washer, and a propeller nut with an integrated zinc anode. The other end of the shaft may be cut to length.
