Vetus Flexible Coupling Type Bullflex 16
Description
Ensuring Optimum Damping of Vibrations
The Vetus Bullflex Type 16 flexible coupling is designed to deliver superior vibration damping for marine propulsion systems. Its highly flexible rubber element smooths out torsional vibrations, ensuring low-noise, vibration-free power transmission between the engine and propeller shaft — without backlash. The coupling also provides excellent propeller shaft alignment.
