Vetus LMX340 - Flexible Engine Mount Type LMX340
This engine mount was designed with special consideration of the weight/power ratio of modern diesel engines, since the weight of modern machines is compared to performance is constantly decreasing. Type LMX guarantees optimum damping even when idling. Due to its high rigidity in the longitudinal direction of the ship, it is also suitable for absorbing large thrust forces, with excellent damping properties thanks to its high elasticity in the transverse direction of the ship. 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 revs.
- The horizontal fore and aft stiffness is very high, which allows the acceptance of considerable thrust.
- The cushioning of vibrations in horizontal direction athwartships is of equal excellence.
These flexible engine mountings are suitable for marine diesel engines in the power range between 70 KW and 350 KW (95 HP - 480 HP).
