Used Marine Gearboxes

What are used marine gearboxes?

Used Marine gearboxes are often a part of a ship that is forgotten. What exactly is the function of gearboxes, and why are they indispensable in every ship? Used marine gearboxes ensure that the power of your ship's engine is transferred to the propeller. Without a used marine gearbox, your ship will not come forward a meter. The used marine gearbox provides the transition between neutral and engaged and whether the propeller rotation is set backwards or forwards. These transitions are converted as smoothly as possible so that the operation is as comfortable as possible. 

How does a used marine gearbox work?

Your boat's used gearboxes have three functions: The first function is to turn the propeller on and off. In addition, you can also easily set whether you want to sail forwards or backwards. These functions are achieved by a series of internal clutches, which when moved via the gear lever at the helm engage different gears. In addition, a used marine gearbox can set the ratio in engine speed between your engine and propeller speed. Correctly setting the propeller speed improves the efficiency of the system and ensures that your propeller speed is always half that of your engine. This is the perfect ratio. 

Which parts do a used marine gearbox have?

The main parts that make up a marine gear are:

• The input shaft that is driven by the engine
• The output shaft that drives the propeller
• A wet-type hydraulic multi-disc clutch that engages and disengages power transmission to the output shaft 
• The gears that reduce the drive from the engine to the required shaft speed
• The hydraulic control unit that determines the pressure of the oil supplied to the clutch
• The forward/reverse selection mechanism for the output shaft,
• The oil cooler
• The mounting brackets that transmit the propulsion from the propeller to the vessel
