Turnkey responsibility for the propulsion drive-line offers many benefits, not only during project conception and system commissioning but also for service support throughout the vessel's life! These benefits include: ■ Optimized design through careful matching of gearbox and propeller to the hull and engine characteristics. ZF Marine's design experts work closely with ship designers, shipbuilders and engine manufacturers during the project phase, construction period and are available for analysis of sea-trial results. ■ Standardization of propulsion components results in simple systems,...

Controllable Pitch Propellers Design simplicity and ruggedness are the main features of the ZF Marine KH controllable pitch propeller. The solid hub has large blade port bearings to ensure that the high thrust loads and wake-induced, alternating stresses are safely absorbed. This conservative design approach results To ensure maximum strength, the hub body is formed from a single, robust, nickel-aluminum-bronze casting and is designed to absorb the centrifugal and bending loads that are exerted by the propeller blades. The hub bearing areas are sized using FEM (finite element) technology...

Propulsion Control Systems ZF Marine propulsion control systems are based on decades of experience in marine control system design and are therefore at the leading edge of marine electronics technology, providing ideal solutions for single engine, multiple engine or multi station installations. Control systems from ZF Marine interface with mechanically or electronically controlled engines, thrusters, transmissions and auxiliary systems. In particular, the electronic control systems for CPP's can be supplied for either constant speed operation or combined mode Using its own technology gained...
