The American Vulkan Torvib monitoring system measures either vibratory amplitudes on the flywheel or the vibratory twist angle across a coupling. The system can detect engine/motor overloading, resonances, and engine misfiring. Typical applications: Marine propulsion, auxiliary drives, generators

SEW-Eurodrive MC series helical and helical-bevel gearboxes are available in eight compact sizes. The MC series uses a modular design with high torque density. Torque range: 4,416 to 47,500 lb-ft (5,987 to 64,401 Nm) Typical applications: Material handling, mixers, overhead cranes, shredders

The American Vulkan MDS2 monitoring system measures the twist angle of couplings or composite shafts. MDS2 can be used as a monitoring device to help plan preventative maintenance, or as a safety device in combination with a clutch to disengage and protect the drivetrain […]

Wichita Kopper Kool clutches and brakes are water cooled to allow for high thermal capacities. The units contain copper discs for excellent heat dissipation. Rubber air tubes allow for smooth, accurate control and consistent web tensioning. Torque range – 2,720 to 1,600,000 lb-in (307 […]

American Vulkan VDM Series mounts ensure insulation and comfort in your system. Several rubber formulations are available in order to optimize your system. All mounts have a built-in centralized limiter to protect against extreme displacements that may result from the ship’s movements. Load range: […]

Wichita Low Inertia clutches and brakes are air applied, spring released disc style units that develop torque proportional to the air pressure applied. The units are designed to be free from effects of centrifugal force and self-energization. Low inertia start/stop parts reduce acceleration times, […]

American Vulkan’s T Series mounts are developed for optimal insulation and comfort. Several different versions are available to suit your application. All mounts have a built-in centralized limiter to protect against extreme displacements that may result from the ship’s movements. Load range: 900 to […]

SEW-Eurodrive X series helical and helical-bevel gearboxes feature an extremely robust housing with flexible mounting options. This design’s high power density allows for reduced costs and weight. Torque range: 5,015 to 350,342 lb-ft (6,800 to 475,000 Nm) Typical applications: Conveyors, ball mills, agitators, overhead […]

American Vulkan Propflex couplings isolate driveline vibrations, reducing noise better than conventional displacement couplings. These couplings also compensate for radial, axial, and angular misalignment. Torque range: 2,065 to 39,238 lb-ft (2.8 to 53.2 kNm) Typical application: Propeller shafts

American Vulkan Meslu clutches are dry-running, pneumatically actuated double-cone clutches. They operate backlash-free and produce no axial load. Friction lining wear is automatically compensated for. Torque range: 5,900 to 232,332 lb-ft (8 to 315 kNm) Typical applications: Dredge pumps, marine drives, auxiliary drives
