Splined and Tapered Shafts

VEEM shafts are engineered for maximum strength, precision, and longevity. Available in both conventional tapered and VEEM’s proprietary part-taper, part-spline interface, these shafts significantly reduce stress concentrations compared with standard keyway designs – by up to 20% in VEEM Extreme variants. Fully CNC-machined and manufactured from VEEM’s high-integrity alloys, each shaft is custom sized and matched to the vessel’s powertrain to ensure seamless alignment and reliable performance across all operating conditions.

Design Options

Tapered Shaft

VEEM’s tapered shaft option uses a precision-machined conical fit between the shaft and propeller, offering a proven, reliable connection suited to a wide range of vessel applications and fully custom-designed to match your engine and gearbox configuration.

Splined Shaft

VEEM’s splined shaft option features a part-taper, part-spline interface that distributes torque more evenly and reduces stress concentrations by up to 20%, delivering a stronger, more durable connection ideal for high-performance and VEEM Extreme applications.

Manufacturing - light years ahead

Bespoke Design

Every VEEM propeller is engineered to match the exact needs of each vessel. Our customised designs draw on decades of practical insight, advanced CFD and FEA capability, and a dedicated team of highly skilled marine propulsion specialists with real-world experience.

Absolutely Identical

Our manufacturing technology ensures propellers are cast and machined to micrometre accuracy, enabling identical replacements and perfectly matched left–right sets with no performance drift across vessel series.

Fully CNC Machined

VEEM propellers are 100% 5-axis CNC-machined to hair-thickness accuracy over every surface, from boss to blade tip, unlike semi-CNC alternatives. This guarantees perfect form, stability, and repeatable high-performance hydrodynamics. Learn more about VEEM vs Class 1 & S-Class >

In-House Alloying

VEEM is one of the very few propeller manufacturers that alloys all metals in-house. This ensures total control over material chemistry, consistent quality, and optimal strength to resist cavitation, corrosion, and fatigue.

Decades of Data

Every propeller benefits from VEEM’s decades of sea-trial data, hydrodynamic research, CFD/FEA validation, and continuous refinement—delivering industry-leading efficiency, smoothness, and thrust performance.

Tested. Witnessed. Verified.

Our performance numbers are backed by sea trials independently witnessed by Lloyd’s Register, with efficiency and speed improvements verified under controlled test conditions. Testing compared the VEEM Extreme propellers, VEEM Nibral propellers, and the VEEM Extreme flow-aligned rudder against industry-standard propulsion systems, including a Class 1 finished propeller and flat-plate rudder.
