Material used for propeller shaft and intermediate shaft:

Stainless Steel-304
Tensile Strength: 505 N/mm2
Calculated Propeller Shaft is =172.08mm
Actual shaft used is Diameter = 177.8mm
Calculated Intermediate Shaft is =158.3mm
Actual Intermediate Shaft used =177.8mm

Maximum Bearing distance:

l max. = 5200 x (172.08/400)^(0.5)

= 3410.6 mm
Hence maximum distance between two bearings on stern tube bearing is 3410.6mm
We are providing 3063mm distance between AFT & FWD Bearing.

Minimum hole diameter of Flange coupling:

Material used for coupling flange is forged steel
UTS = 440 N/mm2
PCD consider for hole is Dia.292mm
Number of holes=12 Nos.

=16.x(10^6x1210/(400x292x12x440))^0.5
=22.41 mm
Minimum hole diameter is 22.41mm
We keep 24.5 mm hole diameter.
