Description
The VETUS flexible engine mounting type LMX has been designed with particular regard to the power to weight ratio of modern diesel engines, which is of ever-growing importance. In other words: the weight of an engine, in comparison to its thrust, has become lower and lower.
For these engine types, the VETUS flexible engine mounting type LMX possesses the following ideal characteristics:
The ample vertical compression guarantees optimum damping of vibrations, even at idling revolutions.
The horizontal fore and aft stiffness is very high, which allows the acceptance of considerable thrust.
This flexible engine mounting is suitable for marine diesel engines in the power range between 70 and 350 KW (95 – 480 HP).
Flexible Engine Mountings
The torque of an boat engine is one of the deciding factors for determination of the load applied to the engine mounts. When more powerful engines are installed, it is important to use the following formula to define the load per support in kg (four supporting points).
