KMB JET28 (Rev. 3) including steering nozzle without thrust reversal

Scope of delivery:

• 1x KMB JET28 (Rev. 3) thrust unit including steering nozzle without thrust reversal function
• 1x KMB JET2802 screws set

RC jetboat drive for electric motors - up to 20000 RPM - up to approx.800 W - operational rpm range from  8000 to 20000 RPM - for custom-made RC model boats like Yachts, race  and sport boats as well as civil, research and military model vessels with approx. 50 to 150 cm length and 1,5 to 4 Kg weight ready to run per installed KMB JET28 unit.

Material kit: Includes unmounted / unassembled parts. For installing, works like grinding, glueing and drilling are required. Working materials not included

Features of the KMB JET28

• Preassembled and ready to install JET28 (Rev. 3) suction tunnel, including impeller and motor shaft coupling (for motor shafts Ø 5 mm)
• Solid, one-piece suction tunnel casing made from fibreglass reinforced ABS-injection
• Ø 4 mm impeller shaft, impeller side notched, motor side leveled, impeller overmolded
• Motor side ball bearing and axial nylon bearing washer
• Impeller side sinter bronce bearing, axial steel and nylon bearing washer
• Grease-filled, refillable Steven tube
• Integrated motor mount incl. material (M4 threaded bolts and hexagon nuts) for mounting a motor or an adaptor flange)
• Motor connection dimensions for motors or adaptors with 29 mm hole spacing and M4-threads (e.g. brushed 700-motor, MH11 or MH12)
• KMB high load shaft coupling Ø 4 mm (drive shaft) / Ø 5 mm (motor shaft), pre-mounted
• Direct mounting of motors with shaft lengths between 17 and 21 mm from connection surface possible
  - For using adaptor flanges (e.g. MH11 / MH12), the length of the adaptor flange needs to be added to the required motor shaft lengths mentioned above
  - By adding additional axial nylon bearing washers between the coupling and the ball bearing (underpinned Offsetting of the coupling), the required minimum shaft length can be reduced to 14 mm (+ adaptor flange length).
• Steering nozzle without thrust reversal function, made from fibreglass reinforced ABS-injection
• Steering nozzle splash guard made from ABS
• The servo should have around 4,5 to 6,5 kgcm actuating power per connected JET28 steering system.
