CARGO VESSELS Various drive designs are used for merchant ships, with both two-stroke as well as four-stroke diesel or dual fuel engines. Highly flexible couplings not only find application in main drives with diesel-mechanical and diesel-electrical drive units, but also in auxiliary drive configurations for generating electrical power, as well as for PTI, pump drives etc. Through the RATO family, a comprehensive, standardized range of couplings is available that also meets particular requirements of this sector, such as the safe transmission of very high torques. Here, a broad spectrum...
