CINTI THE CINCINNATI GEAR

COMPANY 5657 Wooster Pike

Cincinnati, Ohio 45227 513/271-7700 - FAX 513/271-0049

Since the early 1980's,

Cincinnati Gear has provided the propulsion system gearboxes for the

Navy LCAC

Hovercraft.

To date,

CINTI has produced over 80 shipsets of gearboxes for this program.

In the 1990's the experience gained designing and producing these high performance marine gearboxes has been used to develop the MA 107, one of

Cinti's MA Series of standard gas turbine powered marine reduction gears. The MA107 was designed for high reliability and long life, with the future in mind. Unlike the competition, the

MA 107 was designed with high- er power capability to accommo- date anticipated increases in tur- bine power ratings in the years ahead. This makes the MA 107 slightly heavier, but capable of handling higher power in the future, without expensive gear- box replacements and ship modifications.

In the world of high performance marine reduction gears, The Cincinnati Gear Company's reputation for quality and reliability is unsur- passed. We pioneered the development of light weight gas turbine marine reduction gears in the early 1970's with the design and production of the marine gear for the Kawasaki/Jetfoil high speed passenger ferry. Today over 40 of the

Jetfoil crafts and 110 gearboxes have been produced, logging well over 600,000 hours of trouble free operation.
