Inexpensive, redundant and energy-saving power transmission system for ships' drives has transverse connection between two or more shaft sets for two-or more screw ship

摘要

The system has a transverse connection (2) that is elastic in its power transmission and flexible in its arrangement between two or more shaft lines for a two-or more screw ship and that is formed exclusively with the aid of components that are conventionally found in ships' drives, that is spur wheels (1) and couplings (12). Its spur wheels are parallel to large wheels (8) in a reduction gearbox (5) in a central housing between the shaft lines.
