Vetflexseal shaft seal – 50 mm shaft, 75 mm housing

Description

Vetflexseal Shaft Seal

The Vetflexseal Shaft Seal is designed to keep water out of the boat where the rotating propeller shaft exits the hull. It is an essential part of a vessel’s propulsion system, providing a reliable seal and a smoothly rotating propeller shaft. This seal is commonly used in grease-lubricated shaft installations, where the grease provides both lubrication and sealing of the system.

Key Features and Benefits:

• Watertight Seal: It forms a barrier that prevents water from entering the vessel while allowing the propeller shaft to rotate freely.
• Grease Lubrication: The seal is designed for grease-lubricated shaft installations. The grease provides both lubrication and additional sealing of the system.
• Flexible Installation: The seal is fitted with a flexible bellows, allowing easy installation on the stern tube and absorbing minor shaft vibrations.
• Durable Material: The housing is made of high-quality composite or bronze, resistant to the corrosive marine environment.

Technical Specifications:

• Shaft diameter: 50 mm
• Stern tube diameter: 75 mm

Installation and Use:

The Vetflexseal must always be installed close to a bearing for stable operation. This ensures optimal sealing and prevents excessive load on the seal during operation.
