  • Ship drive
    Patent number: 9346525
    Abstract: A ship drive having a drive machine, a transmission, a propeller shaft that is driven by the transmission and a mounting arrangement by which the ship drive can be secured to a hull of a ship. The drive machine and the transmission are connected to one another by a connecting flange and are arranged inside the hull of the ship. A first mounting point, which is designed as a pivot bearing relative to the rotational axis of the propeller shaft, is arranged in such a manner that a bending moment, produced by the propeller thrust and by the weight of the drive machine and the transmission, is optimized at the connecting flange.
