  • Two-engine propulsion system for a ship
    Patent number: 6688924
    Abstract: A propulsion system for a ship having one front and one rear propelling engine (M1, M2), the propulsion powers of which can be coupled to an output shaft (7) via a gear system (6). The shafts of the gear mechanism are disposed on top of each other in an essentially vertical manner. The ship output shaft (7) extends below the rear propelling engine (M2). It is proposed that an input gear (14), disposed upon a rear input shaft (10), is permanently meshed with an intermediate gear (Z2) disposed upon a first axis of rotation (1), and that an output gear (13) disposed upon a gear output shaft (11) likewise meshes with an intermediate gear (Z1) disposed upon the first axis of rotation (1) whereby a large vertical axial distance results between the rear input shaft (10) and the gear output shaft (11) despite the small gear diameter.
