Vetus SA50/1000 Duplex Stainless Steel Propeller Shaft Ø50 mm, Length 1000 mm
The Vetus SA50/1000 Propeller Shaft is precision-engineered from Duplex 1.4462 stainless steel to deliver superior strength, durability, and resistance against corrosion in demanding marine environments. Designed in compliance with ISO 4566 standards, this shaft ensures exact taper and key dimensions for seamless integration with compatible propulsion systems.
One end of the shaft features a 1:10 taper and keyway, supplied with a matching key, tab washer, and propeller nut equipped with an integrated zinc anode for optimal protection against galvanic corrosion. The opposite end can be cut to the required length for installation flexibility.
Key Advantages
- Exceptional Strength: Approximately 30% higher tensile strength than AISI 316.
- Enhanced Hardness: About 40% greater hardness compared to AISI 316 for excellent bearing performance.
- Superior Corrosion Resistance: Outperforms AISI 316 and Aquamet 17/22 in saltwater conditions.
- Silent and Smooth Operation: Minimizes vibration and noise during propulsion.
- Complete Assembly: Delivered with key, tab washer, and propeller nut featuring a zinc anode.
