Kongsberg Kamewa Fixed pitch propeller

Offering considerable cost savings in terms of downtime, maintenance and repairs. The propeller sleeve has a unique concept that simplifies propeller removal and mounting.

Propeller designs are matched to the vessel's hull and its operating profile, to deliver the optimum in propeller efficiency. The SKF propeller sleeve is a unique concept that simplifies propeller removal and mounting, provides full inter-changeability between operating propeller and spare propeller, and reduces the need for a spare propeller shaft. It offers considerable cost savings in terms of downtime, maintenance and repairs. The SKF propeller sleeve also generates major savings by speeding up the installation process, eliminating match marking or gauges. The FPP is designed with either a taper shaft or SKF sleeve.
