No matter how robust your Cat marine engine is, performance, fuel efficiency, and durability are rooted in the crankshaft performance. A state-of-the-art main engine is efficient enough to produce high-quality
The functioning of the crankshaft involves the continued flow of lube oil across the main bearing journal and the engine oil at the front and rear extensions of the crankcase.
Air compressors are not generally part of the marine main engine or auxiliary systems. However, the device is a crucial integration within the comprehensive air starter system. These devices support
An air starter motor is a lesser-known equipment but a crucial supporting device for internal combustion diesel engines in large carriers. When starting an engine, the slow-speed mechanism in two-stroke
The coolant hose, a.k.a. the radiator hose (primarily used in automobiles), is an integral marine spare part for vessels of all types and sizes. It regulates the circulation of the
Whether a Caterpillar marine engine had a catastrophic failure or was nearing maintenance life, the system urges the replacement of the spares with OEM items. For instance, the marine Cat
A watercraft cannot operate without an adequate oil supply into the onboard machinery. Marine oil pumps perform diverse functions, from petroleum fuel to lubricant distribution to coolant dispensing systems, to
Ulusoy Sealines recently entered a contract with Finnish technology giant for Wärtsilä engine upgrade on their bulk carriers – ULUSOY 11 and ULUSOY 12. Wärtsilä’s marine department is leveraging a
A marine vibration damper is often overlooked as an integral device in the engine room. Intense vibration is part of everyday engine and crankshaft operations in all ships, boats, and
A crankshaft thrust washer (or the thrust plates/bearings) is often considered minor marine spare parts. These small disk-like structures protect the crankshaft from damage during main engine operation. The lubricated
Torque equipment assembly is integral to setting the required tension and loading across all parts. Tightening lag screws, nuts, and bolts precisely on a torque device is crucial for the
Torque Converter – Revolutionizing Automatic Power Transmission in Modern Vessels For years, vessel owners have struggled to find the best-in-class marine engines that offer superior torque for high-end power
