Aquadrive homokinetic drive system

Aquadrive is a renowned brand in the marine industry, specializing in vibration-control drive systems. The brand originated in Sweden, developed to address the noise and vibration issues inherent in boat propulsions systems. It was originally engineered by the Swedish company Scantra AB.

Today, Aquadrive is part of the GKN Automotive group, specifically under its Off-Highway and Industrial division. GKN is a major global engineering firm headquartered in the United Kingdom. Manufacturing for these specialized components typically takes place in specialized facilities in Europe, primarily Sweden, though distribution and assembly support occur globally. The system uses a constant velocity (CV) shaft and a thrust bearing to isolate the engine from the rest of the boat, significantly reducing structural noise.
