New Installation Method of Long Stern Shaft With Inclination Angle
If the length of ship stern shaft is too large,the stern shaft can not be directly put into the stern shaft tube through the space between stern shaft bracket and stern shaft tube.If there is an inclination angle between shafting center line and ship base line,the stern shaft can not be directly put horizontally into the stern shaft tube.In view of the above situation,the installation process of long stern shaft with inclination angle is decomposed with the dedicated technology equipment carriage and modular transpopter.Taken a stern shaft with length of 17 m and inclination angle of 3°as an example,the three-dimensional simulation is made.The results show that the proposed installation method is feasible.
