Propeller Shafts and TW Seal Sterns the Highest Quality in Japan

Takazawa Manufacturing developed their propeller shaft material in collaboration with a leading steel manufacturer, creating a product that is absolutely trustworthy for its corrosion resistance, rigidity and durability.

They maintain an ample supply of materials including such stainless steel types as SUS 304 and 316, TXA 208 and SP1, and such brass materials as TS-1AS. They also carry KSFR45, KSFR60 and a range of other materials.

Their sealing device the TW Stern Seal is a patented device to make the stern tube watertight, protecting the lives of those working at sea. Fifty thousand boats throughout Japan are fitted with the TW Stern Seal.

The TW Stern Seal works with a diaphragm construction for outstanding watertightness, decreased friction resistance with the propeller shaft, and energy savings due to improved rotation transmission. The design eliminates trouble due to wear and corrosion of the packing gland, and the packing gland does not need to be adjusted when mooring or taking off. Finally, the resistance to wear is excellent due to the ceramic and carbon used in the seal surface. The TW Stern Seal is highly praised by sailors who are confident in the safety it provides.
