Troubleshoot and Repair a Propulsion Transmission Flashcards
(95 cards)
Transmits power from the driving unit to the driven unit.
A MARINE PROPULSION UNIT
Terms used to describe gear type mechanisms.
Speed Ratio and Gear Ratio
_____ are determined by dividing the number of teeth on the driven gear by the number of teeth on the driving gear.
Ratios
Force that causes a rotational movement of a object.
Torque
The ____ of an engine supplies the rotation to the gears and shafts that transmit power to the driven unit.
crankshaft
What increases and decreases torque?
GEARS, the higher the gears ratio, the greater the torque difference
A drive mechanism that changes speed and torque and is common in marine engine installations.
INDIRECT DRIVE
______ are commonly used where engines furnish power for auxiliaries.
DIRECT DRIVES
MECHANICAL DRIVES affect the driven unit by:
- Reducing shaft speed
- Reversing the direction of shaft rotation
- Permitting quick-disconnect of the driving unit
_____ operate most efficiently in a relatively low RPM range.
Propellers
Designs for efficient diesel engines operate at a relatively _____ rpm range.
High rpm range
In order to reduce speed of engine shaft to the propeller, many drive mechanisms consist of:
- REDUCTION GEAR
- REVERSE GEAR
- CLUTCH
- TRANSMISSION
Allows both the engine and propeller to operate efficiently and used to obtain low propeller shaft speed with a high engine speed.
REDUCTION GEAR
Most commonly used method for backing down power; accomplished by reversing the direction of the propeller shaft rotation.
REVERSE GEAR
Used in mechanical drives to disconnect the engine from the propeller shaft.
CLUTCH
Arrangement of the drive mechanism components.
TRANSMISSION
The reduction gear consist of three major subassemblies:
- Forward clutch group
- Reverse clutch group
- Output shaft group
- Externally mounted valve selector
- Five spur tooth gears and pinions
- 10 gpm oil pump
- Drive spider group
- Oil strainer
- Oil breather assembly
- Oil gauge
- Gear pan
- Instruction plate
Components found on a reduction gear
Two gears with identical ratios mounted on the right or left hand side rotation engines with one gear forward and the other gear in reverse to obtain opposite rotation of propellers.
TWINNING
The Twin Disc is completely hydraulic; all bearings are oil lubricated, both clutches rae engaged by high-pressure oil and both clutches are cooled and lubricated by low pressure oil. A mechanical lockup or _____ is provided for clutch engagement in the event emergency perations are necessary.
COME-HOME FEATURE
The MANIFOLD is a multipurpose component that provides a mounting surface for:
- SELECTOR VALVE
- OIL PUMP
- TROLLING VALVE ASSEMBLIES
- PROTECTIVE COVER FOR CLUTCHES
- COME-HOME ACCESS PIPE PLUGS
- OIL RETURN PIPE ASSEMBLY
The ____ group has a short, rigid shaft straddle-mounted on antifriction bearings.
OUTPUT SHAFT GROUP
Connecting output member of the reduction gear.
OUTPUT FLANGE
Two ____ are installed on the bearing retainer and seal around the flange hub.
OUTPUT FLANGE OIL SEALS
