Marine propulsion components
Components for ship propulsion systems
Altra presented products from Twiflex, Wichita Clutch, Stromag and Bibby Turboflex at the SMM shipping trade fair.
Twiflex presented the TLB system for rotating, locking and braking the drive shaft. It offers three separate functions for cost-effective maintenance. The design enables continuous rotation of the shaft in both directions for precise positioning and bearing conditioning. The compact, modular design of Stromag's high-performance brakes makes them suitable for use on ships and in harbor cranes. They are well protected against the ingress and effects of water.
Wichita Clutch has introduced the new "High-Energy" version of its pneumatic marine clutch. The version with sintered metal friction elements offers improved wear properties and is suitable for high-energy applications. Bibby Turboflex high-performance couplings are torsionally rigid and lightweight. They are suitable for high-speed gas turbines and can transmit torques of up to 822,000 Nm at a maximum speed of 4,200 rpm.
