FLEXIBLE COUPLING FOR ELASTICALLY-MOUNTED MARINE PROPULSION TRAINS

The need to reduce structureborne noise and vibrations has encouraged the use of elastic mountings of propulsion components in many ship types and placed new demands on flexible couplings in the propulsion train. Couplings now have to compensate not only for torsional vibrations, but for axial and radial displacements, as well. They should also offer noise and vibration insulation comparable to the elastic mountings. The Stromag Triflex highly flexible coupling for diesel engine flywheels, a product developed by Maschinenfabrik GmbH to meet these more stringent requirements, is described.
