VETUS Flexible Engine Mount – Type LMX (Max Load 140-500kg)

Description VETUS Flexible Engine Mount – Type LMX (Max Load 140-500kg) This type has been designed with particular regard to the power to weight ratio of modern diesel engines. The weight of an engine, in comparison to its thrust, has become lower and lower. Type LMX guarantees optimum damping of vibrations, even at idling revs. It has a very high horizontal and aft stiffness which allows the acceptance of considerable thrust. The cushioning of vibrations in horizontal direction athwart-ships is of equal excellence. STIFFNESS RATIO VERTICAL: 1 ATHWART SHIPS: 1 FORE AND AFT: 7 See complete specifications in the table below.

When more powerful engines are installed, it is important to use the following formula to define the load per support in kilograms (4 supporting points). engine weight in kg kW x 487 x reduction of gearbox = max. load per support in kg number of supports engine revs/min. x centre to centre spacing in metres of the longitudinal engine bearers OVERALL PRODUCT SIZE (L/W/H): 181mm x 89mm x 180mm NOTE – Please call us to check availability & leadtimes prior to ordering as not all Vetus items are carried in stock.
