Lohmann+Stolterfoht Brochure

Details Power Transmission Products

Lohmann+Stolterfoht produces marine propulsion equipment rang- ing from marine gear units to cou- plings, clutches and bearings. The equipment has been installed aboard vessels such as fishing boats, workboats, yachts, dredges and fer- ries.

Navilus GUG speed-increasing alternator gear

The company's GUU reverse re- duction gear units, produced under the trademark Navilus, are reported to be lightweight and compact in design which make them ideal for installation aboard high-speed ves- sels. The units are available with bell housing or as an input unit with the shaft on the same side.

The GW reinforced gear units are designed for high power transmis- sion under heavy service conditions and are available in four configura- tions. The configurations are co- axial (GWC), vertical offset (GWS), diagonal offset (GWD) and horizon- tal offset (GWH).

Lohmann+Stolterfoht also offers reduction gear boxes for controllable pitch propellers or direct reversible engines. The company claims that its gear units cover the complete range of existing medium speed die- sel engines. The units for these applications are the GCS/H, GUC/H and GUO. GCS/H-P gears with a built-in PTO are also available.

The GUT reduction unit is com- pact due to its split power transmis- sion. These units have coaxial shafts for use on vessels with diesel en- gines.

Radilus propeller shaft bearing

The GVA and GVG type reduc- tion units allow the power from two or more engines to be combined to drive a single propeller.

The company manufactures al- ternator gear units, cutter head drives, electronic controlled clutches, plain and thrust bearings, gear units for sand pumps, electric generators, winch drives and complete hydrau- lic installation packages.

The company's clutches, couplings and bearings are manufactured un- der various trade names such as

Spiroflex, Pneumaflex, Pneumastar,

Radilus and Axilus.

Spiroflex couplings are torsion- ally flexible rubber elements which are said to be able to reach a torque of 36,370 kW at 250 rpm.

The Pneumaflex and Pneumastar clutches are torsionally flexible and stiff, respectively. The Pneumastar clutch is used if the coupling is sepa- rated from the clutch especially in gears of quillshaft design and PTO applications.

Propeller shaft bearings, Radilus, and thrust bearings, Axilus, are available in standard designs, as well as for heavier operating condi- tions such as those aboard an ice- breaker or for dredging.
