AKSELANORDNING FOR SKIP.

摘要

A shafting arrangement for a ship comprises a tailshaft supported in bearings in a stern tube which is rigidly mounted in the ship's hull. The tailshaft has a flange which is located in a self-aligning thrust bearing secured to the stern tube. The forward end of the tailshaft is coupled to one end of a tubular intermediate shaft by a first flexible diaphragm coupling which is secured at its periphery to the intermediate shaft and coupled by its hub to the tailshaft. A second flexible diaphragm coupling is secured at its periphery to the other end of the intermediate shaft and coupled by its hub to the output shaft of the propulsion unit or main gearing.
