MARINE GEARS FOR PROPULSION SYSTEMS OF HIGH-SPEED CRAFT

In this paper a review of the currently used types of high-speed craft and the propulsion systems featured in these craft is given. The parameters are described which influence the design of marine gears for propulsion systems of high-speed craft. The further explanations are then limited to marine gears with spur gear sets for drive by diesel engines. Based on the tasks of the marine gear, its different versions are described. Beginning with the standard reverse reduction gear with parallel axes and input and output flanges on different ends, it is shown how the other versions can be derived from this standard version. It is pointed out how these different versions of marine gears meet the different requirements of the various types of high-speed craft. The design features of modern marine gears are looked at, followed by a description of special options such as power take-off, power take-in and trolling.
