Pilgrim Nuts
The Pilgrim Nut was introduced to the U.S. & Canadian marine markets by Mapeco Products in 1966. It has become the industry standard for providing axial force to assemble and disassemble propeller, tapered shaft, & rudder stock connections.
Keyless Shaft Couplings
Both flanged and straight couplings are available to meet the requirements of almost any shipboard application. The fundamental concept of the keyless shaft coupling is to create a large frictional grip between the coupling and the shaft by “shrinking’ the coupling ID to create an interference fit with the shaft.
Hydraulic Bolts
Mapeco Products offers three types of hydraulically actuated bolts; Pilgrim Radial Fit Bolts, Morgrip Bolts, and Pilgrim Bolts. All provide fast, cost-effective, repeatable, and trouble-free installation and removal.
Technical Support, Hydraulic Pumps and Accessories
High pressure air & hydraulic pumps, ancillary equipment, and spare parts are kept in stock for immediate supply.
