Python Drive P140-T Complete Shaft Drive System – for 3:1 Gearbox, Shaft Diameter 40–55 mm, Max Torque 1370 Nm, Max Thrust 18 kN
The Python Drive P140-T Complete Shaft Drive System is designed for marine propulsion installationson yachts and workboats that require reliable transmission of higher torque and thrust loads.The system is compatible with a 3:1 gearbox and suitable for engines up to160 HP at 2500 RPM.
The drive unit supports shaft diameters from 40 to 55 mm and incorporates amaintenance-free CV joint drive shaft combined with a thrust bearing assembly.This configuration allows propeller thrust to be transferred to the hull through arubber-suspended thrust bearing, while maintaining smooth and consistentrotation of the propeller shaft even at unequal shaft angles.
