Servogear upgrade
Norwegian marine gearbox specialist Servogear has upgraded its most powerful reduction gear. The HD450PTI reduction ratio 5.0:1 is now DNV approved for 2 x 6580 Nm which corresponds to 2 x 1550 kW @ 2250 rpm.
The upgraded HD450PTI enables Servogear to equip larger high-speed vessels than before, especially within the 40 – 60 m catamaran segment.
“For the past 40 years, we have constantly been developing our products in close collaboration with our customers. The HD450PTI is a well-proven Servogear design, which we have customised to meet upcoming needs in the market, and further development of the Servogear Ecoflow Propulsor. With this upgrade, we see the possibility of more re-engineering projects”, said Torleif Stokke, Managing Director of Servogear AS.
Servogear AS also claims to be the leading manufacturer of controllable pitch propeller systems for high speed workboats, fast ferries, offshore vessels and yachts. The company was established in 1973, by Leif Magnus Endresen and is headquartered at Rubbestadneset, on the island of Bømlo off the coast of west Norway.
