Centalink Silent Drive Shaft

Centa Corporation's Centalink drive shaft uses links with cylindrical flexible bushes connected radially to the hub, and spheroidal flexible bushes connect- ed axially to the flange. The result is a maintenance-free shaft, which compen- sates for considerable axial, radial and angular misalignment, while reducing transmitted noise. The torsionally stiff shafts have been proven in ship propul- sion applications with shaft lines up to 82 ft. Shafts are either steel or compos- ite. Composite shafts are designed to considerably reduce weight and allow lengths up to 26 ft. per section.

Firestopping 3M has introduced a new fire protection material for cable pen- etrations in shipboard bulkheads and decks that is designed to sim- plify handling and reduce installation labor - 3M Marine Fire Wrap. Maintain- ing the integrity of fire-rated structures for up to an A60 (IMO) and H60 (UL) rating, this new cable firestop material has also been classified by the U.S.

Coast Guard for its watertight reliability.

The flexible, graphite-based intumes- cant product expands up to 25 times in thickness under the heat of fire, allowing the wrap to effectively fill in the voids around and between cable bundles.

When expanded, the fire wrap forms an effective thermal insulator and with an approved sealant, closes openings to hinder the spread of deadly smoke.
