Looking for a complete vibrations absorbing homokinetic drive system for your yacht, boat or cruiser? Python Drive is the best choice available today. The Python Drive propulsion system is easy to install, and periodic allignment is no longer needed. This can save you a lot of money in the long run!
Only need a part? We sell here the thrust bearing unit and the homokinetic drive shaft separately!
The combination of the thrust bearing with counterflange, clamping ring and homokinetic drive shaft ensures that you no longer have to align the Python Drive. The Python Drive allows an angle of up to 8 degrees between motor and propeller shaft. Aligning the drive system is often an expensive affair. Thanks to the Python Drive you will therefore save in the long run!
The Python Drive is also known for being vibration-free. This is due to the thrust bearing suspended in rubbers. This absorbs the vibrations of the drive system without affecting the engine movements. In the long term, this prevents wear and damage to the rotating parts of the ship's engine.
An experienced do-it-yourselfer can install the Python Drive himself. If you have less experience with tinkering with your vessel, we can take care of the installation of the Python Drive for you. This can be done within 1 day. Our people understand their trade and use high-quality tools for installation.
When purchasing a Python Drive, all installation materials are included as standard. Think of the adapter flange for the most common gearbox types, thrust bearing, CV-kinetic drive shaft and of course all bolts, nuts, lock washers and rubbers to absorb the thrust.
Are you looking for specific parts for your current Python Drive? We supply all parts such as thrust bearings, flanges and the homokinetic drive shafts. You can find these in the product overview above.
With the following calculation you determine which Python Drive you need:
(A:B) x 9680 x C = propeller shaft torque in Nm
A = Maximum motor power in kW
B = Maximum engine speed
C = Reduction gearbox
The maximum thrust (kN) of the propeller must remain below the maximum value.
