Why it is important to make shaft alignment? Shafts must be aligned as perfectly as possible to maximize equipment reliability and life, particularly for high-speed.

Friday Question: Are you interested in learning everything about Ferrules? Download this informative poster! Ferrules are incredibly useful tools for conductor processing and wiring. The use of sleeves can prevent potential splicing of individual control wires, thereby enabling effective and reliable processing. Ferrules not only facilitate insertion into the clamping shaft but also protect the individual control wires against mechanical impact. This is especially useful during connection to screw terminal blocks.

Straight as an arrow! Laser shaft alignment ensures empty shafts stay in line for optimal machinery operation.

Unlike traditional inboard engines, which require separate components for the propeller, rudder, and transmission, #the Zeus Pod Drive integrates these elements into a single unit. The drives are mounted directly beneath #the vessel, enhancing both handling and overall performance. The #maintenance and repair of the #Zeus system require precise engineering expertise and must be conducted with meticulous attention to detail. This is due to the intricate design of #high-speed four-stroke or two-stroke engines, where the complexity and friction between components significantly increase the risk of part #failure. Even minor malfunctions can disrupt the entire system. In the accompanying video, #extensive corrosion can be observed on the upper section of the #vertical shaft within the Zeus unit. This issue was identified during a #major overhaul, and although we replaced the defective front part to prevent further complications, this intervention led to additional expenses.

Here our mechanics have all the space they need, can you imagine how difficult it is to work in a cramped engine room on board? When the crankshaft has been removed from the engine, it has to be carefully transported to the skylight in the engine room, often past other engines. Once at the skylight, the crankshaft can be hoisted up with a large crane and placed on the quay. Ready for transport to our workshop to be grinded. We keep your operations running. #grinding #reuse #repair #remanufacturing #repurpose #circular #sustainable

Have you heard of Clippard’s AIV Series? Our Air-Operated Isolation Valves provide intrinsic safety due to the air-operated design on top of the same benefits as our exceptional PIV Series.  Key Features:  💨 Intrinsically Safe: With air operation, there's no need for solenoids, translating to zero heat buildup from coils. This intrinsic safety feature is paramount for various applications, especially those handling temperature-sensitive media. 🛡️ Corrosion Resistance: Just like the PIV Series, the AIV Series is crafted with PTFE and PEEK in all wetted areas, making it resistant to corrosive media. Say goodbye to concerns about material degradation! 🔧 Enhanced Durability: Designed with longevity in mind, the AIV series promises extended service life and minimal dead volume, thanks to its innovative valve stem design.

This is a illustration of a basic Shaft Alignment Procedure, as to help understand what and how it works but also the influence it has if not correctly done.

Train rail casting…! Today I saw an really amazing video about casting train 🚊 rail. Then I decided to share it here, maybe that is interesting for you too ! 🙂 #metallurgist #metallurgyengineering #engineering #cast #casting #trainrail #train #rail #corrosion #ceramist #melt #Diecast

𝐓𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐧𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐲 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐝 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐡: 𝐂𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 Cavitation often comes up in performance discussions about hydraulic systems such as pumps and ship screw propulsion. Pumps may shut down; ships' screw propulsion can be severely limited. But what is actually meant by cavitation?   Cavitation in hydraulic systems is the formation and subsequent collapse of vapour filled cavities in a liquid. Formation of these cavities (bubbles) depends on the vapour pressure of fluid and absolute pressure in the fluid. The collapse of cavitation bubbles can be violent and loud. Excessive vibrations are also possible. Occurring close to surfaces it can lead to damage such pitting.   In addition to causing damage, cavitation can cause performance issues such as efficiency and head loss. Although small scale cavitation can initially improve performance, higher levels of cavitation can degrade performance significantly, potentially leading to pipe blockage and damage.   For ship screws, cavitation starts at the screw tip at higher rotational speeds and can extend further along the blade. In contrast with pumps, for screws the ambient pressure is the air pressure not the pressure in the pipe. This means that poor screw design or selection can quickly lead to cavitation. The daily challenge of Royal IHC is to improve the relevant designs and incorporate the results so that our equipment continues to extend the sustainability envelope. #RoyalIHC #Creatingthemaritimefuture #Technology #Techwordofthemonth #Cavitation
