MarineShaft recently sent a new tail shaft to its owner, the vessel M/V Annetta.
It is a tail shaft for a water-lubricated system. The old propeller shaft had suffered from severe cavitation between the liners making it unrepairable.
The shaft dimensions are Ø352 × 5,665mm with two bronze liners Ø405/352 × 1,697mm and Ø378/338 × 1,010mm and with Phillyclad coating between the liners.
The manufacturing time was only ten days, including the coating. We used C45 steel for the shaft – bronze material for the liners and Phillyclad as a protective coating to avoid future corrosion between the liners. This solution is a cost-effective solution
