Problem Statement:

Gear

---

Detail:

The gearbox has been developed for a 12HP diesel engine with 2400 RPM idling speed and around 12 liters fuel tank capacity. The diesel engine directly couples with two reduction gears through flange coupling with the engine flywheel. The innovativeness lies in the application of helical gears with inner spline cut with dual sided jaw and dog clutch. This provides smooth running and better power transmission for the marine diesel engines.

Link: The Salient Features of the Z drive system to go along with the gearbox for diesel engines are that it is manually tiltable and can be locked at 90 degrees while landing. It also reduces loss of power through horizontal shaft power transmission and results in a smooth drive and better maneuverability.
