Ship Transmission System

The Ship Transmission System is a component of the Ship And Boat Propulsion Components supply class, which falls under the supply group Ship And Marine Equipment.

The Ship Transmission System is responsible for transmitting power from the ship's engine to the propeller, enabling the vessel to move through the water. It consists of various mechanical and hydraulic components that work together to control the speed and direction of the propeller.

Some key components of the Ship Transmission System include:

1. Gearbox: This is a mechanical device that transfers power from the ship's engine to the propeller shaft. It allows for the adjustment of the propeller speed and direction.

2. Clutch: The clutch is used to engage or disengage the transmission system, allowing for smooth shifting between different gears and speeds.

3. Shafting: The propeller shaft connects the gearbox to the propeller, transmitting the rotational power from the engine to the propeller blades.

4. Bearings: Bearings are used to support and reduce friction between rotating components, such as the propeller shaft and gearbox.

5. Control System: The ship transmission system is typically equipped with a control system that allows the operator to adjust the speed and direction of the propeller.

These components work together to ensure efficient and reliable propulsion of the ship. The Ship Transmission System is a critical part of the overall propulsion system and plays a crucial role in the vessel's performance and maneuverability.
