The document describes Wärtsilä marine reduction gears, their types, design features and dimensions.

Single reduction gears with vertical or horizontal offsets, and twin input-single output gears. The document also describes gear designations that indicate features like offsets, clutches and PTOs.

Features like gear wheels, housing, bearings and lubrication are described. Materials, FEM analysis and noise reduction are also mentioned.

WRTSIL MARINE REDUCTION GEARS

The cruise ferry Finnmarken is equipped with two Wrtsil TCH 150V85-S50 gears.

The anchor handling tug supply vessels Fairmount Sherpa and Fairmount Summit
are both equipped with two Wrtsil TCH250-S53 gears.

The product carrier Sten Idun is equipped with one Wrtsil SCV116-SDCT65 gear.

The anchor handling tug supply vessel Normand Ferking is equipped with two
Wrtsil TCH270-PS58SDC63 gears.

WRTSIL MARINE REDUCTION GEARS

The marine reduction gear is a key element


of the propulsion system, enabling the main
engine and the propeller to operate at optimum
speeds. Other functions such as a propeller
thrust bearing, multiple-disc clutches, power
take-off for shaft generators and power take-in
for electric motors can also be incorporated in
the gear.
WRTSIL gears are of modular design,
simple, reliable and yet compact for easy
installation and maintenance.
Wrtsil gears are available in three
standard models: single reduction gears
with vertical or horizontal offsets, and twin
input-single output gears in the power range
80025,000 kW.

DESIGN FEATURES OF WRTSIL GEARS

GEAR WHEELS
The gear wheels have single helical teeth,
precision ground with profile correction to
ensure both good load distribution and low
noise operation. The material is alloyed gas
carbonized steel. Double helical gear wheels
are also available.
HOUSING
The housing is made of cast iron or fabricated
steel in order to make a rigid structure.
Extensive FEM calculations ensure limited
deformation and low stress levels. Special
attention has been paid to minimizing noise
and vibration.

BEARINGS
For gear sizes 38-56, plain bearings are used
on the output shaft. Otherwise low friction
bearings are used.
For gear size 62 and larger, plain bearings
are used on both pinion and output shaft. The
main thrust bearing is a tilting pad bearing
and is rigidly supported. Otherwise low friction
bearings are used.
HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
The hydraulic system is designed for
lubrication, cooling and clutch control. All
bearings are forced lubricated, the gear
meshes have additional sprays for cooling and
lubrication. The oil filters are designed for full
flow and with a high degree of filtration.

CLUTCHES
The clutches are high capacity multiple-disc,
hydraulically operated and cooled. All clutches
have a soft clutch in system, ensuring shock
free engagement of main engine.
SHAFTS
The pinion shaft is made of forged alloyed
steel. Other shafts are forged carbon steel. The
output shaft has an integrated forged flange.
The input and PTO shaft ends are cylindrical
with keyways.
SHAFT SEALS
All shaft seals are non-contact labyrinth seals
and maintenance free.

Gear type TCH370-S63. Twin input-single output gear with double helical gearwheels for low noise operation.

POWER TAKE-OFF (PTO)

All Wrtsil gears can be supplied with one or


more PTOs for driving any rotating device such
as shaft alternator, pump and compressor.
For single gears, the standard PTO is
primary driven. For twin input-single output
gears, the PTO is either primary or secondary
driven.
A primary driven PTO rotates whenever the
main engine is rotating.
A secondary driven PTO rotates whenever
the propeller shaft is rotating.
Some PTOs can also be supplied with clutch
(controllable PTO).

POWER TAKE-IN (PTI)


Most Wrtsil gears can be supplied with a
combined PTO/PTI or with just a PTI. In PTO
mode with a combined PTO/PTI, the shaft
alternator is driven by the PTO as it feeds
electric power to the main switchboard (MSB). In
PTI mode, the shaft alternator acts as an electric
motor fed by electric power from the MSB.
The PTI may have different functional modes:
PTI booster mode. In this mode the PTI
operates in parallel with the main engine.

No clutch is required on the gear, but the


propulsion system (gear, shafting and CPP)
must be dimensioned for the total power of the
main engine and the electric motor.
PTI take me home mode. For this mode
one clutch or mechanical coupling is needed
to isolate the main engine from the gear. In
addition a PTI clutch is needed to accelerate
the propeller from zero to nominal speed. To
save electrical power, a two speed PTO/PTI is
frequently used for this mode.
PTI combination of booster and take me
home modes. For this mode the propulsion
system must be dimensioned for the total
power, and the gear must have two clutches.

INTEGRATED
HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
FOR GEAR AND CP
PROPELLER
Wrtsil gears sizes 50-95 in their vertical
or horizontal versions are also available with
integrated hydraulic system for gear and CP
propeller. This reduces the time needed and
simplifies installation for the yards. For safety
reasons, the main pump for the CP propeller is
always gear driven with an integrated system.

All Wrtsil gears can of course also be


interfaced to a separate hydraulic power unit.

SPECIAL GEARS
Special gears are available on request. Typical
examples of special gears are shown on the
next page.
