TG Mountings
Semi Elastic suspensions
Semi Elastic suspensions
TG or so called Semi Elastic suspensions were designed specially for free standing gearboxes and/or close coupled high speed engines/gearboxes where the mountings have to absorb the torque reaction in combination with full propeller thrust. The TG mountings provides sufficient load capacity combined with long service life. Although originally designed for gearboxes and close coupled engines/gearboxes mounting arrangements are particularly versatile and can be used for many other applications.

ERD Marine Couplings
Rubber Design has developed a compact range of thrust blocks in combination with their ERD Marine Couplings for high performance operation in yachts and ships.
The ERD couplings are standard manufactured in steel and seawater resisting aluminum. Other materials e.g. non-magnetic stainless steel can be supplied if required. They can be supplied with or without propeller thrust capacity and will maintain drive in the event of dam-age occurring to the rubber elements.

In most modern propulsion installations, engine vibrations are well isolated from the ship ’s foundation by means of excellent resilient engine mounts. However, engine vibrations are also transmitted over the coupling to the gearbox. Semi-elastic gearbox mounts used nowadays have a relative high stiffness compared to other mounts used on machinery, due to the torque transmitting function. As a result, low-frequency engine vibrations are poorly isolated an

RDC Rubber Design Coupling
The range of Rubber Design Couplings (RDC) were designed specially to fit the most
common propeller shaft diameters. The simple design provides a powerful friction joint for high torque transmission, combined with effortless mounting and dismounting features using oil injection technology.
Although originally used by Rubber Design for propeller shaft installations in yachts, the couplings are particularly versatile and can be equally used for pumps, turbines, compressors and generators. For applications li

Thrust bearings
Rubber Design has developed a compact range of thrust blocks in combination with their ERD Marine Couplings for high performance operation in yachts and ships. The advantage of using a thrust block is that the propeller thrust load is not taken by the engine-gearbox. This way an optimised flexible mounting system of engine-gearbox can be used, which gives the best results for vibration isolation and reduction of structure borne noise from engine-gearbox to the foundation (hull of the ship).
