Vetus ZINKAS60C Shaft Collar Zinc Anode for 60 mm Propeller Shaft
The Vetus ZINKAS60C shaft collar anode is designed to provide effective cathodic protection for marine propeller shafts with a diameter of 60 mm. Made from high-quality zinc in accordance with MIL-A-18001K, this anode ensures reliable performance in saltwater environments and precise fit on the shaft.
The two-piece design incorporates an interlock system in both halves, guaranteeing perfect alignment during installation. Even as the anode erodes over time, this construction prevents it from coming loose. The anode is fixed using four bolts, ensuring stable mounting and consistent electrical contact.
Shaft anodes are not recommended for high-speed vessels, as they can create turbulence in the water flow around the propeller and may cause imbalance of the propeller shaft as they wear. These issues do not occur when using a VETUS propeller nut with an integrated zinc anode.
