VETUS MOTOR MOUNTS    

All VETUS engine mounts absorb the propeller thrust.

The torque of an 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 lbs (4 supporting points).

Type K 25

Application: Small engines and generator sets with 1 or 2 cylinders. This flexible mounting contains a special rubber compound with excellent vibration damping properties.

Type MITSTEUN

This hydro-damper is a combination of a conventional rubber-metal damper and a hydraulic shock absorber. Especially for engines with 1,2 or 3 cylinders, producing much horizontal and vertical movement, the VETUS hydro-damper is an absolute sensation: the reduction of vibration and noise is truly staggering. The maximum static load per support is 133 lbs and the maximum thrust per support is 110 lbs. In other words: dependent on gearbox ratio, number of revolutions, propeller diameter etc., these mountings are suitable for engines of up to 18 - 26 kW (25 - 35 HP).

Mountings for heavy-weight engines with 4 or more cylinders
Type LMX
The VETUS flexible engine mounting type LMX is the "natural" successor of the well known flexible mounts L and LM.

This new engine mounting 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 idling revs.
  • The horizontal for and aft stiffness is very high, which allows the acceptance of considerable thrust.
  • The cushioning of vibrations in horizontal direction across is of equal excellence.
