Propulsion Shafting Services
Nautilas offers a range of propulsion shafting services ranging from computational analysis and optimisation studies to in-situ measurement and complete coordination of alignment procedures. In all cases, our professionalism and the use of high-tech equipment guarantees the success of the assignment.
Shaft Alignment Optimisation
Using a range of analytical tools and a database of dynamic loading conditions shaft alignment optimisation can be performed in order to minimise the risk of bearing failures and their consequences.
Vibration Analysis
Using parametric 3D 6 degree of freedom FEA models we can analyse all modes of vibration of the propulsion system in a realistic manner and in the smallest possible time.
Laser Sighting - Geometrical Measurements
Using state of the art laser sighting equipment we perform bore sighting measurements to identify the current state of the propulsion system of your vessel
Strain Gauge Measurements - Torsional Vibrations
We have the capability to acquire strain gauge measurements with the aid of wireless radio telemetry systems for the monitoring of torsional and axial vibrations. Validation of the shaft alignment condition can also be conducted with minimal disruption to the vessels' schedule.
Lateral Vibration Measurements and Analysis
Measurement of lateral propulsion shaft vibration is conducted with the aid of specialised sensors and high speed data acquisition systems. The source of this extreamly dangerous vibration phenomenon can be safely pinpointed.
Structural Vibration Measurements and Analysis
Measurements on structures or engines can be acquired with the aid of multichannel vibrometers providing solutions to ongoing and persisting vibration issues.
In-Situ Machining Services
Through a network of specialised workshops Nautilas offers the capability for a one-stop-shop service for your alignment isues. From an analytical optimisation study to a laser sighting and complete realignment Nautilas is at your service.
On Site Attendance
With or without the use of our equipment we can offer valuable help by sypervising and verifying measurements and processes conducted by the yard or workshop
