All Vetus engine mouting absorb the propeller thrust.
The torque of an engine is one of the deciding factors for determinations 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 kg (4 supporting points).
(engine weight in kg / number of supports) + (kW x 487 x reduction of gearbox / engine rpm x centre to centre spacing in meters of longitudinal engine bearers) = max. load per support in kg
Type K25V
Application: small engines and generator sets with 1 or 2 cylinders. This flexible engine mounting contains a special rubber compound with excellent vibration damping properties.
These flexible engine mountings are suitable for marine diesel engines in the power range between 4 kW and 15 kW (6hp - 20hp).
