Twin Disc Expands

Marine Transmission Series

For Workboat Applications —New Free Brochures Available—

Twin Disc, Inc., Racine, Wis., has expanded their popular MG-516

Marine Transmission Series with the addition of the model MG-5161, and has added a deep case version to their high performance MG-5111

Marine Transmission Series. Both new high capacity, compact reverse- reduction marine transmissions are designed for the rugged service en- countered by diesel engine's in ves- sels such as fishboats, towboats, tugs, ferries, crewboats and other workboats.

The MG-516 Marine Transmis- sion covers a power range of 235 to 447 kw (315 to 600 hp) and is offered in ratios 3.07:1, 3.50:1, 4.04:1, 4.52:1, 5.05:1 and 6.00:1. The MG-5161 cov- ers a power range of 235 to 425 kw (315 to 570 hp) and is offered in two ratios—6.53:1 and 7.00:1.

Rated 475 hp at 1,800 rpm contin- uous duty for all ratios, both the

MG-516 and MG-5161 models fea- ture identical ratings and ratios for- ward and reverse when used with right-hand standard rotation en- gines. The transmissions can also be set up for use with left-hand rota- tion engines driving through for- ward for ahead.

The MG-516 transmission is equipped with a torsional flexible coupling to fit standard SAE 14- inch flywheels and offers solid, pre- dictable response through oil con- trolled and oil cooled forward and reverse clutches.

The MG-5111DC marine trans- mission, suited for the diesel en- gines in fishboats and workboats requiring low propeller speeds, is available in a power range of 164 to 421 kw (220 to 565 hp) with three optional transmission-mounted

PTOs. The two identical capacity forward and reverse ratios, 3.92:1 and 4.95:1, make it possible to have either left or right-hand propeller rotation with identical right-hand engines. Transmissions can also be specified for use with left-hand ro- tation engines.

Rated 325 hp at 1,800 rpm contin- uous duty in all ratios, this trans- mission weighs only 771 pounds, which reflects the advanced design of the strong but lightweight high- grade iron housings. SAE No. 1 or

No. 2 configurations are available.

The new gear/clutch technology and gearing/bearing/clutch arrange- ment allow for service of major com- ponents without removing the transmission from the engine.

The new transmissions can use

Twin Disc's Trolling Valve option, which offers the ability to obtain lower propeller speeds than would be possible at engine idle with the clutch fully engaged, permitting greater maneuverability and con- trol.

In addition, the marine transmis-

Soundcoat Offers Brochure

On Vibration-Dissipating

Noise Reduction Material

The acoustical laboratory of

Soundcoat Company, Inc., Deer

Park, N.Y., has improved upon their proprietary vibration control mate- rial DYAD where it can now provide high damping from -15 F for DYAD 601 to 250 F for DYAD 609.

DYAD is used for constrained layer damping where a layer of vis- coelastic material is sandwiched be- tween the vibrating structure and a thinner metal constraining layer. It is the viscoelastic material com- pound which dissipates the mechan- ical energy of vibration into the form of heat.

Due to DYAD's extended temper- ature range it can now be used to reduce noise and vibration signifi- cantly in equipment where low and high temperature requirements must be met, such as skies to en- gines.

The Soundcoat Company, with laboratories and manufacturing fa- cilities in New York and California, is involved in noise control research and development and manufactur- ing damping, barrier, absorption, gasketing and glass fiber materials.

The company has provided noise control solutions and materials for all types of equipment in every industry from ships to aerospace to office machinery.
