Power Connection Group

The Power Connection Group of the 2-Cycle Glow Plug Engine is the collection of components responsible for securely linking the engine’s power output to the propeller, enabling efficient propulsion and seamless power transmission. Comprising the prop nut (nosecone nut), drive hub, and thrust washer, this group plays a pivotal role in harnessing the engine’s rotational force and converting it into thrust to propel the vehicle or equipment.

Prop Nut

Prop Nut (Nosecone Nut): At the forefront of the Power Connection Group is the prop nut, aptly nicknamed the "nosecone nut" due to its distinctive shape. This specialized fastener serves as the primary means of securing the propeller to the engine's output shaft. Its unique design not only ensures a reliable attachment but also minimizes...

Drive Hub

Adjacent to the prop nut, the drive hub is a connecting link within the power connection system. This key component forms the direct link between the engine’s output shaft and the propeller, serving as the central interface for transmitting rotational power. With its robust construction and precision design, the drive hub facilitates smooth power transfer...

Thrust Washer

Completing the Power Connection Group is the thrust washer, a critical element designed to minimize friction and wear between the rotating propeller and the drive hub. Positioned between these components, the thrust washer allows for axial movement while reducing metal-to-metal contact. This ensures that the propeller operates with minimal resistance, prolonging its longevity and preserving...
