The VAICO brand Mounting, propshaft is an important structural element located on the propeller shaft. It is needed to maintain the said shaft in the correct position. In addition, such a bearing is designed to receive and transmit radial and axial loads. Thanks to it, rolling, rotation, and linear movement along the axis are provided. The latter is produced with the lowest possible resistance.

The construction of the propshaft mounting

A similar element of the propshaft consists of a housing made of metal, as well as a hole into which the bushing is inserted. There is a gap between the body and the bushing. It is filled with a certain lubricant. Thus, easy movement of the bearing components relative to each other is achieved. This measure significantly reduces the friction of the elements, the value of thermal conductivity. As a result, there is a protection of the elements from negative environmental influences. Thus, the reliability and durability of the bearing is increased.
