Bruntons are not just a propeller company; far
from it. We can provide fully integrated and custom designed sterngear
packages which include all the components from the gearbox to the
propeller cone.
In
a new construction our Naval Architects and Engineers liaise with
the customers’ technical staff during the design stage to
ensure that the optimum solution is selected. When retrofitting
equipment in existing vessels we can analyse trials data and offer
solutions to correct performance deficiencies.
Generally
our choice for shafting is the material known as Hydromet 680 which
was developed by our own metallurgists to provide the highest possible
strength and corrosion resistance characteristics. Hydromet 680
is a very high quality Duplex Stainless Steel ideal for high performance
shafting applications. It is the ideal choice for fast naval patrol
vessels and luxury yacht applications.
A
full range of couplings and thrust blocks are available to suit
any application. These are either to our own design and manufacture
or we are happy to supply other makes.
Complete
shaft and propeller packages are pre-fitted at our factory to ensure
trouble free installation. On break down each item is numbered and
the package is delivered to the customer complete with an instruction
manual.
