Thermoboat-Powertrain Press Release PDF

 

Powertrain Marine Joint
The Powertrain Marine Joint PT120, PT300
and PT700
for Diesel engines up to 700 HP.

The super-flexible coupling for use between marine transmissions and propeller shafts.The technology is based on the standard front wheel drive joint found in most modern cars. A revolutionary idea! Very simple installation!

Alignment problems non-existing!

Takes up to 8° ! Thrust forces no problem ! Significant reduction of noise! Mechanical transmission, no rubber.

Can be supplied with all known flanges:
4” – 5” – Volvo and Yanmar Warranty 2 years.

No maintenance. Install and forget !

Adapters for other flanges: 20 mm

The maximum angle / Rpm 4° 1800 rpm 5° 1600 rpm 6° 1200 rpm 7° 1000 rpm 8° 700 rpm Fits 25mm – 30mm – 35mm – 40mm– 1,125” – 1,250” – 1,375” – 1.500” 60 HP at 800 rpm 70 HP at 1200 rpm 80 HP at 1400 rpm 90 HP at 1600 rpm 100 HP at 1800 rpm

A better solution than any other known coupling. Rubber couplings can take only 0,5°.
Comparison is unfair ! The next generation ( up to 700 HP ) will be available in 2010.

Invented and developed in Norway. Patent is pending.
Marine equipment and boatbuilding is something Norwegians know a lot about.

Trust us, the joint has been tested during tough conditions in the North Sea, and in different types of boats.
Suitable for sailboats or both displacement and planing vessels.
