Isoflex Gearbox Couplings Combat Vibration and Protect your Gearbox

-

Gearbox couplings provide two critical functions: they provide dramatic vibration reduction and act as a sacrificial link to protect your gearbox from damage. The gearbox coupling transfers torque between the engine and the propeller, reducing vibration and stress on your machinery. Under normal circumstances, a sacrificial flexible coupling should fail before damage to the engine or transmission occurs.

Isoflex, the manufacturer of durable, engineered polyurethane vibration dampening products, offers a wide selection of flexible gearbox couplings for marine operations. Isoflex’s resilient element co-polymer specifically resists fuel, oils, water and hydraulic fluids. This corrosion-resistant, flexible material helps enhance drive bearing service life by reducing wear. The result is lower long-term cost of ownership.


Efficiency and operator comfort are critical for commercial vessels where time and cost are important. Minimizing drive line vibration, propeller pulse and gear chatter provides a smoother operation and ultimately, less equipment fatigue and maintenance.  Pleasure boaters will benefit as well from a quieter boating experience. 

Isoflex gearbox couplings are designed with specific features to combat vibration: steel inserts for maximum power transmission, precision-machined spigots for minimal run-out and internal hex fittings to reduce the chance of the inserts turning. Together this delivers superior vibration dampening and durability.

Isoflex flexible gearbox couplings and engine mounting systems are all designed with a serious commitment to quality and performance.

  Brass Vs Phenolic Bearings: A Detailed Comparative Study Introduction Bearings are an integral part of many mechanical systems. Whether it's in an automobile, an industrial machine, or a boat propeller shaft, bearings play a critical role in reducing friction and ensuring smooth operation. Today, we are going to delve into a comparison of two popular types of bearings generally used in the marine application: the Brass Bearings and the Phenolic Bearings. Let's examine their characteristics, pros, and cons. Brass Bearings #BrassBearings Traditionally, brass has been the material of choice for many types of bearings. Brass Bearings are no exception. These bearings are constructed using high-quality naval brass—a special type of brass that is corrosion-resistant and extremely durable. They are designed to reduce friction and noise in marine environments and are a long-standing choice in the boat building and maintenance industry. Pros of Brass Bearings: Durabilit

Metal casting, an age-old technique dating back to 3200 BCE, has evolved significantly over the years, especially in the realm of non-ferrous metals. These metals, known for not containing iron, encompass a wide variety of materials including copper, aluminium, bronze, and more. They're chosen for their unique properties like high strength-to-density ratio, corrosion resistance, and non-magnetic nature, making them ideal for diverse applications from aerospace to cookware​ ​​ ​. Do's in Non-Ferrous Metal Casting Select the Right Material: The success of your casting depends heavily on choosing the appropriate non-ferrous metal. Consider factors like mechanical properties, corrosion resistance, and application-specific requirements​ ​. Employ Proper Casting Techniques: Techniques like sand casting, die casting, and investment casting each have their specific applications and benefits. For example, sand casting is versatile and suitable for a wide range of metals, while die cas

A Ship's Best Friend: The Importance of Quality Materials in Marine Engineering

-
Image
  Introduction Marine engineering is a critical field that focuses on the engineering of boats, ships, oil rigs, and other marine structures. At the heart of any resilient and effective maritime structure is the careful selection and utilization of top-quality materials. Quality Materials: The Backbone of Marine Engineering 1. Steel and Alloys Steel, especially marine-grade steel, is commonly used in shipbuilding for its high tensile strength and corrosion resistance. Corrosion Resistance : Marine-grade steel contains elements like nickel and chromium, which provide protection against corrosion, a common problem in the marine environment. Strength : High-strength steel alloys provide the required structural integrity for withstanding the rigorous demands of the sea. 2. Composites Modern ships often utilize composite materials, such as fiberglass, for lighter and more flexible structures. Weight Reduction : Composite materials are lighter than steel, improving fuel efficiency. Durabilit
