THE OFFSHORE & MARINE INDUSTRY RUNS ON FALK GEARBOXES


The Offshore & Marine Industry Runs on Falk Gearboxes
Reciprocating diesel engines remain the main method of marine propulsion used in the offshore and marine industry. These engines all rely on gearboxes to transmit power from the engine to the crankshaft. It allows for changes in speed and torque, controlling the output of power.

The reduction gearbox allows medium and high speed engines to efficiently drive the propeller, adjusting speed as needed, or allowing for the craft to move in reverse. Falk gearboxes offer a competitive edge for the marine industry, owing to their durability and ease of repair.

The offshore and marine industry also relies on quality fluid sealing solutions, especially as the demand for more marine commerce continues to rise. This means that an efficient operation consisting of well-maintained engines, piping, and other ship components are key to ensuring uninterrupted commerce. A quality and dependable marine seal and gasket is just the thing to ensure that the engine runs at peak efficiency.
