Python Drive P501-W Complete Shaft Drive System – for 2.5:1 Reversing Gearbox, Shaft Diameter 60–80 mm, Max Torque 4900 Nm, Max Thrust 30 kN
The Python Drive P501-W Complete Shaft Drive System is designed for marine propulsion installationsthat require high torque transmission and reliable thrust handling. The system is compatible with a2.5:1 reversing gearbox and suitable for engines up to620 HP at 2400 RPM.
The unit supports shaft diameters from 60 to 80 mm and incorporates amaintenance-free CV joint drive shaft together with a robust thrust bearing assembly.This configuration transfers propeller thrust smoothly to the hull while allowing the propeller shaftto rotate consistently even when operating at unequal shaft angles.
