Description of Gearbox Series

REINTJES marine reduction gearbox with hydraulically operated clutch
series: LAF 2346 K41A 4,350:1
Hydraulically operated with built-in thrust bearing, the spur wheels are helically
toothed, case hardened, and tooth flank ground, with oil pump, control valve, oil filter
and heat exchanger. The gearbox shafts are supported in roller bearings.
The disengaged disc clutch is supplied with lube oil. This results in an idling torque.
With disengaged clutch the output shaft may rotate provided the idling torque is
higher than the initial friction torque of the driven parts.
The idling torque depends on the present operating conditions.
Design of the power transmission system
The gear size was designed under the condition that a highly flexible coupling is fitted
between engine and gearbox.
When selecting a torsionally flexible coupling we recommend to keep the operating
speed range of the plant free from torsionally critical speeds.
The alternating torque in the toothing of the loaded gears is limited to max.30% of the
respective nominal torque.
If the above mentioned limiting value is exceeded it is necessary to check back with
REINTJES.
Shaft lines
For shaft lines coupled to the input shaft or output shaft of the gearbox we strongly
recommend to carry out a whirling calculation. For propeller shafts additional a axial
vibration calculation is recommended.
The results of whirling calculation and torsional vibration calculation are carefully to
be counterchecked for possible interference in order to prevent the mutual excitation
of torsional and whirling vibration

Engaging Speed
Engaging speed of the gearbox:
min. 400 rpm, max. 560 rpm
It must be ensured that an interlock is built into the cpp-control system which allows
engagement at zero pitch only. It is not allowed to engage the clutch if the propeller
shaft turns in the non-specified direction. This must be ensured by technical
provisions.
Gearbox engagement will principally be effected at engine idle speed. If engagement
at a higher speed is requested, we require specific instruction and the following data
which are necessary for checking the clutch:
- Mass Moment of inertia J (kgm) of propeller shaft system and propeller (in water).
- Break-away torque of the propeller shaft system
- Propeller torque at engaging speed.

No warranty can be accepted for damages that may be caused by incorrect selection

The assembled coupling parts will not be checked by Reintjes.
We need to have the drawing of the coupling (including push up distance)
5 weeks before scheduled gearbox delivery latest.
This is necessary so that we can check the free space to the gearbox and
machine the tools for fitting of the coupling.

The cooling water sockets can reciprocally be used for inlet, outlet respectively.
For connection of the cooling water sockets we recommend using compensators to
avoid damages to the cooler and the piping system. Compensators are not part of
the REINTJES standard scope of supply.

Lubricant
We recommend using lubrication oil (type SAE 40 / ISO VG150) listed in our
lubrication chart BV1597/3.
REINTJES does not accept responsibility for any damages due to use of unsuitable
oils.

Packing
The Gearbox will be shipped on a wooden transport frame with additional timber
frame and in a collecting container. All wooden parts have been treated according to
ISPM-Standard 15.
Container packing is intended for overseas transportation and short-term storage in
dry rooms without large temperature changes, for up to 12 months (Climate B: 38 C
/ 90% rel. humidity).
Preservation of the gearbox
The gearbox will be painted according to REINTJES standard.
External unpainted parts will be coated with a waxy long-term preservation agent.
After the test run, a VCI preservation oil will be put inside and the gearbox will be
tightly sealed. The venting filter will be replaced by a plug.
In addition, the gearbox will be hermetically sealed in a steam-proofed foil and
provided with a drying agent for 12 months protection.
Preservation of the spare parts
The spare parts will be painted or coated with a waxy long-term preservation agent
as necessary. Parts supplied from other manufacturers remain supplied in their
original packing.
All spare parts are either packed together with the gearbox inside the protective
covering or packed in a separate case, shrink-wrapped in steam-proofed foil and
provided with a drying agent.
A sufficient preservation is only guaranteed, if specifications and notes in BV1945 are
observed.
We accept no warranty for damages caused by improper storage.

For higher inclination angles it is necessary to check back with REINTJES.

Arrangement of the Propulsion System
The propulsion system components associated with the gearbox must be arranged
so that the gearbox is subject to minimal additional forces which may occur due to
operating conditions or flexing of the ship's hull.
Fitting Bolts or Collision Chocks
The gearbox must be prevented from moving on its foundation by the use of fitting
bolts or collision chocks.
Cast Resin - Foundation Connections
Collision chocks must be provided if cast resin is to be poured under the gearbox
support. (Load values for the layout of foundation bolts can be supplied by
REINTJES.)
Before tightening the gearbox foundation bolts the alignment bolts must be screwed
back out of contact with the top plate.
Alignment using cast resin must only be undertaken by recognised companies who
specialise in this work and can carry out the necessary technical calculations.
Such alignment using cast resin is subject to the approval procedures of the
classification societies.
Some gearboxes with transverse foundation must not have collision chocks fitted on
mounting brackets to absorb the propeller thrust.
Further Guidelines and Instructions
For the installation and alignment of the gearbox it is necessary to observe the
guidelines and instructions given in the gearbox installation drawing and the
operating manual attached to consignment.
We cannot be held responsible for costs arising from non-compliance with our
recommendations.
