Marine

The specialized gear systems manufactured by True Gear & Spline Ltd. serve many industries, including the marine sector. Known for its challenging conditions, our herringbone and double helical gears, worm and worm gears, spur gears, and helical gears offer high torque and power generation to offset them. 

Challenges In The Marine Sector

Corrosion: Exposure to salt water and moisture quickly corrodes equipment and structural components.

Accelerated Wear And Tear: Key equipment, such as propellers, engines, and pumps, faces extreme wear and tear due to high load and constant operation.

Unexpected Downtime: Due to the remote location, any unexpected breakdown of equipment leads to major downtime and loss of operational efficiency.

Applications Of Gears In The Marine Sector

Herringbone And Double Helical Gears: They offer propulsion for large ships and transports. The V-shaped profile of these gears helps cancel out axial thrust, ensuring better torque transfer and vibration reduction.

Worm and Worm Gears: Worm and worm gears are primarily used in steering systems to ensure proper rudder movement, and in on-deck equipment such as cranes and winches. Made from durable materials such as stainless steel, they can withstand corrosive elements of the marine environment.

Spur and Helical Gears: Both spur and helical gears are used in power transmission in the marine sector, each serving different functions. Spur gears power simple equipment such as winches and pumps. Helical gears are used in heavy machinery, gearboxes, and steering systems due to their quieter and smoother operation.
