Vetus COMFL1225 Combiflex 12 Flexible Shaft Coupling – Ø 25 mm Shaft, 4" Flange
The Vetus COMFL1225 Combiflex 12 Flexible Coupling represents the next generation of marine shaft couplings, merging the proven performance of the UNIFLEX and BULLFLEX designs into one efficient, cost-effective solution. Engineered for optimal vibration damping and easy installation, the COMFL1225 ensures a smooth, quiet, and reliable connection between the propulsion engine and propeller shaft.
This flexible coupling minimizes torsional vibrations and cyclic irregularities at low revolutions, reducing drivetrain noise and extending component lifespan. The integrated rubber damping element eliminates backlash, providing a soft, vibration-free transmission while maintaining perfect alignment. Its unique self-centering mechanism keeps the shaft precisely aligned even at 2° of misalignment, ensuring smooth operation in both forward and reverse gear.
Key Features
- Combines the advantages of UNIFLEX and BULLFLEX couplings in one design
- Optimal torsional vibration damping for quieter and smoother operation
- Non-tapered clamping hub for fast installation and easy removal
- 4” standard flange fits most gearbox models directly
- Supports engines up to 107 hp (depending on gear reduction ratio)
- Permits shaft misalignment up to 2° without losing centering accuracy
- Secured against shearing off both axially and radially for maximum safety
- Built-in thrust damping element
- Reduces installation time by eliminating need for shaft tapering or keyway cutting
- Available adapter flanges for Volvo, Yanmar, and Kanzaki gearboxes
