Vetus SA45/1000 – Propeller Shaft Ø45 mm × 1000 mm (Incl. Nut with Integrated Zinc Anode)
The Vetus SA45/1000 propeller shaft is a premium-quality component designed for reliable, efficient propulsion in marine applications. Manufactured from duplex stainless steel 1.4462, it offers superior resistance to corrosion, fatigue, and wear, outperforming AISI 316 and Aquamet 17 or 22 materials. This makes it ideal for use in saltwater environments and demanding operating conditions.
Each shaft is machined with a 1:10 taper and keyway according to ISO 4566 standards, ensuring precise alignment and smooth torque transmission. The assembly includes a matching key, tab washer, and a propeller nut with an integrated zinc anode for complete galvanic protection. The free end of the shaft can be cut to length for perfect customization during installation.

Dimensional Reference (ISO 4566)
- A = 1000 mm – Total shaft length
- D = 45 mm – Shaft diameter
- F = 14 mm – Key width
- I = 3.5 mm – Key depth
- O = M30 × 2 – Thread
- Y = 40 mm – Start of taper
- Z = 105 mm – Taper length
Advantages
- Exceptional corrosion resistance for marine environments
- High tensile strength and hardness for extended lifespan
- Integrated zinc anode prevents galvanic corrosion
- Optimized balance for vibration-free propulsion
- Precision-machined to ISO 4566 standards
- Ideal for both pleasure craft and commercial vessels
Typical Use
The Vetus SA45/1000 propeller shaft is engineered for medium- to high-power propulsion systems where maximum strength, alignment precision, and corrosion protection are essential. It guarantees smooth, quiet performance and long service life under continuous marine operation.
