TG Gear Mounts
Semi-elastic mounts for free-standing gearboxes or close-coupled engine/gearboxes that absorb torque reaction and full propeller thrust.
Description
TG (Torque Gearbox) mounts are semi-elastic resilient mounts for free-standing gearboxes and close-coupled high-speed engine/gearbox units, where the mounts must absorb the torque reaction together with full propeller thrust. Hard-mounted reduction gears transmit structure-borne noise into the vessel, causing gear whine in accommodation areas; TG mounts isolate this higher-frequency energy while keeping a stable gearbox foundation.
Key features
- Bushing-style elements with low deflection under thrust and torque loads
- Also suited to close-coupled engine/gearboxes with deep reduction ratios (typically 4:1 or greater)
- Supplied with custom brackets matched to the gearbox bolt pattern, simplifying retrofits
Applications
- Reducing gear whine on yachts, workboats and other vessels with reduction gears
