Propeller Shaft Earthing Systems
It is crucial to electrically ground a ship's propeller shaft to the hull to prevent damage caused by voltage potential differences. This system minimizes heavy electrical currents through bearings and gearboxes, reducing corrosion and damage. The system uses silver graphite brushes and double brush holders for optimal contact and low resistance.

System Components and Working Principle
  • Sliprings: Copper slipring with solid silver inlay, suitable for shaft diameters Ø100 - Ø1400 mm.
  • Brush Holders: Available in single or double configurations.
  • Brushes: Made of silver graphite with a high silver composition.
  • Monitor: Potential monitoring to verify system effectiveness.

PROPELLER SHAFT EARTHING SYSTEMS SLIPRINGS BRUSH HOLDERS • Copper slipring with solid silver inlay • Shaft diameters Ø100 - Ø1400 mm • Single or double brush holders • Silver graphite brushes • High composition of silver COMPLETE SYSTEM It is absolutely necessary to electrically ground the ship's propeller shaft to the hull. Because a rotating propeller generates a voltage potential difference between the shaft and the hull, which in time will case damage to the propeller and the bearings. This voltage potential difference is generated because of the lubricating oil films in bearings and non-metallic...
