      <title>MARINE GEARING</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/151657</link>
      <description><![CDATA[This book outlines the many advances which have taken place in the development of modern marine gearing and updates gear design, construction, installation and operation. Comprehensive treatment is given to gear hobbing and gear grinding machines; tooth loading and distribution corrections; results of tests and experience with material combinations; single and double-helical gears; gearing configurations; types of epicyclic gears; applications to single and multiple diesel engines; reversing with steam turbines, diesel engines and gas turbines; reversing with epicyclic gearing; SSS clutches; MAAG synchronous clutch coupling; gear couplings; lubrication systems; adjustable bearing housings; journal, main wheel and thrust bearings; vibration; kinematics of tooth meshing; oil/material combinations; pitting and tooth breakage; gear damage; noise.]]></description>

      <title>MPX--A NEW MULTI-PURPOSE MARINE OIL FROM BURMAHCASTROL</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/72661</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The oil, designated "MPX" and available in "SAE" ratings of 20, 30 and 40, is designed as a crankcase lubricant for two-stroke crosshead main diesel engines and for trunk piston generator sets burning distillate fuel.  It is also suitable for certain steering gears, turbochargers, oil-filled stern-tubes and for gearboxes not requiring an extreme-pressure oil.  Principal characteristics and test results are reported.]]></description>

      <title>IMT EPICYCLIC MARINE REDUCTION GEAR WITHOUT LEASTIC COUPLING</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/59803</link>
      <description><![CDATA[When the gears are used for a marine, geared diesel propulsion system such as the 10,000 hp class, the length of the engine room can be shortened by about one meter. Results of experimental and full scale tests show that the torque fluctuation and torsional vibration could be well absorbed by means of the elastic function of the oil film in the floating intermediate rings.  Avoidance of resonant vibration and the relatively small increase in strength required are also discussed.]]></description>

      <title>WHAT CAUSES WEAR IN GEAR-TYPE COUPLINGS?</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/67661</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The useful life of a gear-type coupling is limited by the rate of wear of its teeth.  This wear rate is heavily influenced by lubrication and the type of wear that occurs. Here are some facts that may help in avoiding coupling failures on critical rotating machinery trains.  It is pointed out that speed has a significant influence on coupling wear: high speeds reduce the wear-rate;  while low speeds can, with some lubricants, cause the coupling's failure.]]></description>
