Propeller Shaft CouplingMEGIFLEX TC

Compact Tail Shaft Coupling with Integrated Thrust Bearing
The MEGIFLEX TC is a tail shaft coupling with integrated thrust bearing for propeller shafts up to 80 diameter that includes two MEGIFLEX B elements in cardanic execution. Propeller thrust is absorbed by the thrust bearing flexibly mounted to vessel’s frame, therefore the gearbox can be mounted on soft resilient mounts, with a global improvement to the acoustic behavior on board. This integrated configuration allows a very compact propulsion system. The MEGIFLEX TC completes the well known PROPFLEX application range by VULKAN and it is characterized by its own design, dimensions and applications.
It has been designed and developed for installations on pleasure and small vessels (sail boats, motorboats, light duty applications mainly) where high comfort on board is considered a must. Installed in between gearbox and propeller shaft hub, it can compensate radial, angular and axial displacements and isolate structure borne noise. The MEGIFLEX TC coupling is an application engineered product with a standardized modular flexible part and project specific parts to suit specific customer’s application.
