After installing a Python-Drive, periodic alignment of the engine to the propeller shaft is no longer required, annoying axial drive reactions between engine and propeller shaft are eliminated, and the thrust is transferred &#8216;softly&#8217; to the vessel&#8217;s hull via the special rubber-mounted suspension of the thrust bearing. The heart of every Python-Drive is the maintenance-free constant velocity drive shaft, which in all versions is generously dimensioned for its task. The thrust bearing is heavily dimensioned for all models and is maintenance-free. The thrust bearing is mounted using a clamping ring that centers the propeller shaft exactly where it belongs &#8211; directly behind the <a href=\"https:\/\/ab-marineservice.com\/en\/product-categories\/drives\/python-homokinetic-drives\/\">constant velocity drive shaft<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>This specially developed <a href=\"https:\/\/ab-marineservice.com\/en\/product\/python-drive-p30-r-mounting-plate-easy-and-quick-installation\/\"><strong>mounting plate<\/strong> <\/a>for the <a href=\"https:\/\/ab-marineservice.com\/en\/product\/homokinetic-drive-4-p30-r-python-up-to-50-hp-3000-rpm\/\">Python-Drive P30-R<\/a> models makes installation in a vessel significantly easier. The plate serves as a solid base, allowing the Python-Drive to be positioned quickly and accurately between the vessel&#8217;s frames. This <strong>saves<\/strong> a lot of time when aligning and preparing the installation.<\/p>\n<p>Normally, cutting out the correct shape for a Python-Drive installation is fairly complex and often requires heavy tools such as a cutting torch. With this mounting plate, much of that work is already pre-prepared, making installation faster, neater, and more efficient.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ab-marineservice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Handleiding-Python-Drive-NED.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">(link) Python Drive manual<\/a><\/p>\n<table border=\"0\" width=\"844\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\">\n<colgroup>\n<col width=\"564\" \/><\/colgroup>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td height=\"20\"> Maximum shaft torque<\/td>\n<td> 30 kgm 294 Nm<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td height=\"20\"> Propeller shaft diameter<\/td>\n<td>20, 25 and 30 mm., 0.75&#8243;, 0.875&#8243;, 1&#8243; and 1.125&#8243;<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td height=\"20\"> Maximum thrust<\/td>\n<td> 4.3 kN<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td height=\"20\"> Example application with diesel engine<\/td>\n<td> 50 HP \/ 3000 rpm 2.5:1 reversing gearbox<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td height=\"20\"> Constant velocity shaft length optional 145, 165 or195 mm, at no extra cost.<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":429642,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"location":[],"product_brand":[25932],"product_cat":[2585,3456,3829,14499,14497,3793],"product_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-429639","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_brand-python-drive","7":"product_cat-engine-parts","8":"product_cat-drives","9":"product_cat-python-homokinetic-drives","10":"product_cat-python-drive-set-standard","11":"product_cat-python-drive-en-2","12":"product_cat-python-drive-p30-r-50pk-294nm-en","13":"product_shipping_class-parcel-0-10-kg","15":"first","16":"onbackorder","17":"sale","18":"taxable","19":"shipping-taxable","20":"purchasable","21":"product-type-simple"},"group_of_quantity":0,"min_quantity":0,"max_quantity":"","exclude_order_quantity_value_rules":"no","exclude_category_quantity_rules":"no","combine_variations":"no","locations":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ab-marineservice.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/429639","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ab-marineservice.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ab-marineservice.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ab-marineservice.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=429639"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ab-marineservice.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/429642"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ab-marineservice.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=429639"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"location","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ab-marineservice.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/location?post=429639"},{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ab-marineservice.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=429639"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ab-marineservice.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=429639"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ab-marineservice.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=429639"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
