Propulsion systems in commercial vessels require carefully engineered resilient mounting to reduce the transmission of vibration and structure-borne noise from the engine and drivetrain to the vessel structure.
The mounting system must support the engine while controlling dynamic loads and engine movement and maintaining the stability required by the propulsion system. Its selection should take into account the engine weight, center of gravity, operating speed range, cylinder configuration, mounting arrangement, and propulsion system characteristics.
AMC-MECANOCAUCHO offers a wide range of marine engine mounts with different geometries and elastomer compounds, allowing the stiffness and damping characteristics of the mounting system to be adapted to the requirements of each installation.
Marine engine mounts are installed between the engine and the vessel structure to elastically decouple the propulsion system and reduce the transmission of vibration and structure-borne noise into the hull.
AMC-MECANOCAUCHO offers different configurations of Marine Engine Mounts, BRB, and BSB, allowing the mounting system to be selected according to the engine load, dynamic behavior, and installation geometry.
Different natural rubber and high-damping AMC SDD Rubber compounds are available to achieve the required balance between vibration isolation, damping, engine movement, and system stability. Height-adjustment systems facilitate accurate engine positioning and alignment during installation.
