Industry application overview
Ship is the general name of all kinds of ships. It is an artificial vehicle that can navigate or park in the water for transportation or operation, mainly operating in geographical water. The interior mainly includes accommodation space, support structure and drainage structure, and has a propulsion system that utilizes external or self-contained energy. The shipbuilding industry is currently facing difficult challenges such as rising costs, environmental protection policies, increasing labor costs, and reducing the number of manpower. SKL's ship solutions are designed to provide customers with safe and reliable bearing products and services that bring significant competitive advantages.
Typical equipment conditions in the industry
Civil ships are generally called ships, military ships are called ships, and small ships are called boats or boats, which are collectively called ships or boats. The interior mainly includes accommodation space, support structure and drainage structure, and has a propulsion system that utilizes external or self-contained energy. The shape is generally a streamline envelope that is conducive to overcoming the fluid resistance. The materials are constantly updated with the progress of science and technology. In the early stage, they are wood, bamboo, hemp and other natural materials. In modern times, they are mostly steel, aluminum, glass fiber, acrylic and various composite materials.
Application of bearings in shipbuilding industry
Bearing is a rotating body supporting the ship's shafting. It can reduce the friction coefficient during its movement and ensure its rotation accuracy. Shafting is an important part of ship propulsion system and the core component of shafting. With the development of large-scale ships, the weight of the propeller and the length of the shafting are gradually increasing, resulting in excessive rotation angle at the rear bearing of the stern tube, and the contact area between the stern shaft and the stern tube bearing is reduced, which leads to excessive local stress on the bearing. In order to make the front and rear axles bear the force evenly, wear evenly and extend their service life, new designs such as inclined boring and inclined bearing came into being.
