Dimensions and Model Selection
The Hollex Zinc Ring Anode range includes 20 versions with different internal shaft diameters and external dimensions. The shaft diameter is the primary selection parameter, while the external diameter and thickness determine the overall dimensions of the anode.
- Shaft Diameter (As Ø): 22 to 130 mm.
- External Anode Diameter (Dia Ø): 60 to 210 mm.
- Anode Thickness: 15, 18, 29, 30, 40 or 60 mm, depending on the version.
- Material: Zinc.
- Shape: Ring.
Select the anode corresponding to the propeller shaft diameter. The external diameter and thickness should also be checked against the available installation space.
Installation and Application
The ring anode is designed to be mounted against the front of the propeller. Its central opening accommodates the propeller shaft, with different sizes available to suit shaft diameters from 22 to 130 mm.
- Installation Location: Propeller shaft.
- Mounting Position: Against the front of the propeller.
- Required Selection Parameter: Shaft diameter.
- Additional Dimensions: External anode diameter and thickness.
Corrosion Protection
The zinc anode acts as a sacrificial component, corroding preferentially to help protect the propeller shaft and associated metal components from corrosion.
These ring anodes are suitable for saltwater environments. The zinc construction provides sacrificial corrosion protection for marine propeller shaft applications.
