Our shaft brackets are designed bespoke to achieve optimum performance in line with every vessel’s individual requirements. A low drag areafoil section is applied to all struts ensuring the highest efficiency and performance and lowest vibration level is delivered every time. Our shaft brackets range from a bore size of 25mm to 180mm diameter up to a cast weight of 600kg.
A 3D model is produced for all component drawings and is used for CFD and FEA to provided optimised hydrodynamic geometries and strength analysis. The developed 3D model can be issued to the customer allowing them to import the file into the 3D hull geometry. This ensures precise and accurate fitting is achieved before any tooling manufacture begins. The 3D model is then used to produce tooling as an exact replica of the finalised design. It is then ready for the casting procedure.
