Z-drive | S6 | 6,35mm (1/4")

Product information "Z-drive | S6 | 6,35mm (1/4")"


Popular classic in new best form

As the successor to our sterndrive, we decided to design a new and improved version of the S6 sterndrive. 

The improvements at a glance:

  • The body of the Z-drive is no longer made of cast aluminum, but of CNC-milled aluminum 7075
  • The surface is compacted and additionally protected against corrosion and refined by anodizing
  • Closed lubrication with low-viscosity gear grease. Smearing in the boat as in the predecessor is therefore a thing of the past
  • Helical gears are not pressed, but CNC milled, hardened, ground and therefore much more accurate and robust
  • All drive shafts are made of stainless steel (V2A). The upper shaft has two bearings, the lower shaft has three bearings and both are sealed by a Simmerring
  • The output speed is 1:1 
  • Each drive is assembled by hand directly at and by us. 
  • A drilling template is also included in the scope of delivery and makes installation easier for you. 

Good to know

  • The drive has a square mount for 6.35mm (1/4") flex shaft. 
  • The S6 drive can be used for both left and right rotation 
  • Suitable for boats from approx. 1200mm (with double drive 1400mm length) 
  • Suitable for 50 electric motors max. 32,000 rpm and 26-32cc power 
  • Suitable for use with semi-submerged propeller 
  • The drive has a PTFE holder. The brass tube is not inserted into the drive and must be individually supported separately. We recommend a double support at the level of the coupling and the drive.
  • The peak of the torpedo should be for hulls with steps 2-4mm below keel line for hulls without steps 2-4mm above the keel line for assembly
     


Care instructions

The drive must be commissioned in water only, as otherwise insufficient cooling can lead to damage to the shaft seal. The drive should be greased as required.
