Marine Drive Train Alignment
The alignment of marine engines and propeller shafts is critical in ship building and ship repair.
The stresses and vibrations caused by the rotation of misaligned shafts can not only lead to failures in the prop shaft assembly, but can also cause significant damage and premature failure of shaft line bearings, gearboxes and engines.
Marine propulsion systems work in challenging conditions. Inevitably most boats will twist and flex under normal working conditions, and also when dry docked.
These stresses can and do cause failures in the mountings and alignment of engines, gearboxes and shaft line bearings.
Marine propulsion systems gradually move out of alignment over time due to the stress of usage and the degradation of flexible mounts, therefore they must to be periodically checked in line with class surveys and realigned accurately to reduce the increased stresses.
Laser alignment will significantly help to extend the life of flexible mounts, bearings, and couplings. It will also help to prevent premature wear on propulsion units, such as engines and gearboxes by removing unnecessary strain and vibration from individual components.
