Rubber Design Compact Thrust Block (CTB) - Flexible Engine and Gearbox Mounting for Noise and Vibration Isolation

The Rubber Design Compact Thrust Block (CTB) is an advanced addition to the thrust bearing range, designed for compact installations. It is engineered to work seamlessly with our SMART-LINK coupling to provide an optimal flexible mounting system for engines and gearboxes, particularly in close-coupled configurations. This results in superior noise and vibration isolation for propulsion systems.

Key Features:
- Spherical Design: Allows for up to 5° of angular adjustment, compensating for misalignment between the shaft and housing, ensuring smooth operation even during propeller shaft line movements.
- Axial and Radial Force Handling: Capable of absorbing both axial forces (forward and reverse thrust loads) and radial forces (to support shaft weight), providing comprehensive support for the shaft system.
- High-Quality Bearings: The thrust bearing features top-quality bearings with a lifespan exceeding the minimum requirements of classification societies, ensuring long-term durability.
- Grease Lubricated: The thrust bearing is grease-lubricated, which minimizes maintenance requirements while ensuring effective and reliable performance.
- Compact and Versatile: The compact size makes it easy to integrate into existing shaft installations, ideal for refit operations or engine replacements, offering a seamless upgrade to newer standards.
- Easy Installation: The thrust block can be mounted directly on the propeller shaft and can be adjusted to fit current shaft diameters with a split spacer bush, making it flexible for various applications.
Applications:
- Engine and gearbox installations
- Propulsion systems in ships
- Refit operations and engine replacement projects
The Rubber Design Compact Thrust Block (CTB) is designed for ship owners seeking a modern, efficient solution for noise and vibration reduction. By upgrading existing shaft installations with this advanced thrust block, you will achieve superior noise isolation and enhanced vibration dampening, resulting in a quieter and more comfortable onboard experience.
