The main problem in the design phase of a shaft is to confer minimum vibration and enough mechanical strength to ensure the safety of the system in any condition.
The propeller shaft, which is developed in a single dimension, is subject to torsion even at high rpm, and it is here that our company demonstrates its technological potential.
We make shafts on NC lathes that, in the bigger diameters, allow for the best degree of precision.
This translates into a perfect response to design data and the final product delivered to the client. Perfectly aligned shafts are an indispensable condition for a low level of vibration and the longevity of the installation.
Our production of propeller shafts includes a range from 25 to 205 mm diameter and over 7 m in length. We use AISI 304, AISI 316, V174, and MARINOX 25 stainless steel.

The use of face seals allows us to resolve the typical problems in which, over time, the installation of the traditional stuffing box incurs, that is wear on the shaft, wet bilge and continuous tightening of the packing, etc. Schematically, the face seal is made up of two parts: one that is stationary and one that rotates. The stationary part is generally fixed to the packing box; the rotating part is fixed to the shaft and turns with it. Thus there is no wear on the shaft: in fact the true seal is found perpendicular to the shaft in two micro lapped surfaces that rub against one another. The elastic bellows or springs recuperate eventual surface wear, thus the constant tightening of the packing is not required. Moreover, the presence of bellows and/or springs, in addition to recuperating wear, serves to compensate eventual misalignment, absorbing vibrations or sudden shifts of the shaft.

The PSS Shaft Seal, manufactured for 25 years, uses the well-known system of mechanical seal in order to assure complete water tightness between the propeller shaft and the boat, unlike other brand which uses either a lip seal or a packing gland.
Because of its choice of material, the PSS Shaft Seal can operate in all kind of environment, including salty/sandy waters. Also unlike other type of seals there is no contact, therefore no wear, between the sealing surface and the shaft.
All these qualities make the PSS Shaft Seal the most common brand of Shaft Seals found on the pleasure boat industry today.
Less known is the fact that the PSS Shaft Seals are also very common on all type of work boats (Small ferries, crew boats, fishing boats, coast guards, tugs etc…) as these seals are manufactured for shafts up to 200mm. One huge advantage of these seals on a commercial boat is the lack of maintenance required added to the fact that these seal do not wear the shaft down.
The PSS is approved by RINA, VERITAS, and ABS.

If your yacht is fitted with a hydraulic gearbox and the propeller continues to rotate when under sail with the engine turned off, it is likely that the gearbox will not be sufficiently lubricated. Autolock has been developed to solve this problem and provides the following significant advantages:-
- Stops prop rotation when sailing.
- Reduces gearbox wear.
- Reduces prop drag.
- Stops cruising prop noise.
- Manufactured from stainless steel and other non-corrosive materials.

The stripper protects your propeller. It keeps your propeller clear of rubbish by shredding it into harmless fragments. The stripper is an assembly of rotating cutting blades that interlock around the shaft in front of the propeller. A fixed blade runs in bearing integral with the rotating cutter resulting in a shearing action as the blades pass each other. The patented shape of the blades puts real strength at the base where it's needed. The needle sharp teeth extend in an elegant outward curve to the very tips of the blade. This results in a cutting action that is smoothest possible. Even a low powered engine can cut through large ropes easily.

The simplest way to keep your propeller and shaft free from fouling ropes and submerged debris, the Shaft Razor Cutter has been tested and marketed in Europe for several years and is now available through The Evolution Company Inc. The Shaft Razor Cutter can be installed where there is little space on the shaft
The Shaft Razor Cutter consists of a machined circular blade manufactured from a high grade of stainless steel (316L) with a sharp serrated cutting edge. It is accurately machined to the shaft diameter and kept securely in place by set screws to the shaft. Once installed, the Shaft Razor Cutter rotates with the shaft and gently cuts anything that becomes entangled on the shaft/propeller. installation consists of simply removing the propeller and sliding the Shaft Razor Cutter onto the shaft and tightening the set-screws.
The Shaft Razor Cutter can be installed where there is little space on the shaft.
