Orion Thrust block

Poseidon has a series of thrust blocks: Heracles and Orion series. These thrust blocks make that the propeller thrust does not have to be absorbed by the gearbox/engine mounts. This creates a quieter and smoother propulsion system.

These units are available from 10 up to 3000 kW applications. They are always used in combination with flexible couplings or plunging joints.

Options

The Orion Thrust block is available in different stan- dard sizes but can also be customized for a perfect fit. The Orion Thrust block is available in a heavy duty ver- sion. In class society approved short build and larger thrust bearings are available on request.
