Important Notice: Torsional Vibration: Disregarding propulsion system

torsional compatibility could cause damage to components in the drive train
resulting in loss of mobility. At minimum, system incompatibility could result in
gear clatter at low speeds.
The responsibility for ensuring that the torsional compatibility of the propulsion
system is satisfactory rests with the assembler of the drive and driven equipment.
Torsional vibration analysis can be made by the engine builder, marine survey
societies, independent consultants and others. Twin Disc is prepared to assist
in finding solutions to potential torsional problems that relate to the marine
transmission.
Twin Disc, Incorporated reminds users of these products that their safe operation
