Marine gearbox is the main propulsion transmission device of the marine propulsion system . It has the functions of reversing, clutching, decelerating and bearing the thrust of the propeller. It is matched with the diesel engine to form the marine propulsion. It is widely used in passenger and cargo ships, engineering ships, fishing boats, offshore and ocean-going ships, yachts, police boats, military ships, etc., it is very important equipment in the shipbuilding industry.


 

There are various types of marine gearboxes, the common ones are reduction gearboxes, clutch reduction gearboxes: reversing and clutch reduction gearboxes, multi-speed gearboxes, multi-branch transmission gearboxes, multi-machine parallel gearboxes, fuel-diesel combined power transmission Gearbox etc. According to the purpose, it can be divided into: ship main propulsion drive and auxiliary engine drive, ship operation machinery drive; according to working conditions, it can be divided into: light load high-speed ship and medium and heavy load ship. In terms of transmission form, there are fixed-pitch transmission gearboxes and variable-pitch transmission gearboxes; in terms of structure, there are parallel shaft transmission, angle transmission, concentric, horizontal and vertical different centers. What we are mainly use is reduction gearbox.

 

If you only replace old gearbox, please kind provide your old gearbox nameplate for your supplier, that can help you check the gearbox keep the same as before, if do not have the gearbox nameplate, it does not matter, tell your supplier the gearbox model and ratio, what is the most important, please do not forget to tell your supplier the gearbox flywheel size, should make sure gearbox can connect the engine well. If you do not know gearbox model, it is also do not matter, tell us your main engine power(kw/hp) and speed(rpm), and the gearbox ratio you need, then we can help you calculate, please also do not forget the flywheel size.

 

If you need gearbox for your new boat to connect the new engine, just need to indicate your engine power(kw/hp)and speed(rpm), gearbox ratio and flywheel size is ok.
