Transmissions for marine applications cover a wide range of sizes and layouts all of which present different challenges to the system designer. In large vessels the transmission is required to operate under high power from diesel engines, gas turbines or a combination of the two such as in CODAG and CODOG arrangements.
In smaller boats, size and weight become more important considerations, with the use of planetary gear systems ideal for compact in-line arrangements.
RomaxDesigner: flexible and dependable
RomaxDesigner has the flexibility to cater for all marine system design requirements. Romax are able to apply proven methods to review all aspects of the marine transmission, including double helical gear arrangements and planetary gear arrangements.
Micro-geometry of gear profiles can be optimised to provide benefits in terms of durability and noise and vibration. In addition to design, Romax also have teams of experts that can support you in manufacturing, testing and certification.
The manufacturing team at Romax are involved in carrying out audits at production sites for large high power transmissions and can offer you recommendations for process improvements and quality control.
Our specialists can also assist you n defining testing specifications and preparation of documentation that may be required to achieve certification for new designs in marine applications.
