Lesson 25;The transmission system(传动系统) on a ship transmits power from the engine to the propeller. ;;The thrust from the propeller is transferred to the ship through the transmission system.;The different items in the system include the thrust shaft(推力轴), one or more intermediate shafts(中间轴) and the tailshaft(尾轴). ;Main engine;These shafts are supported by the thrust block(推力轴承), intermediate bearings(中间轴承) and the sterntube bearing (尾轴管轴承). ;A sealing arrangement is provided at either end of the tailshaft，with the propeller and cone(锥形物、锥帽) completing the arrangement.;Thrust Block;It may be an independent unit or an integral(整体的) part of the main propulsion engine. ;Both ahead and astern thrusts must be catered for(满足(需要)).;The casing of the independent thrust block is in two halves which are joined by fitted bolts(紧配螺栓). ;Bearing pad ;The thrust loading is carried by bearing pads(推力块). ;The pads are mounted in holders or carriers(架、座、承载装置) and faced with white metal(白合金，巴氏合金). ;In some designs the pads extend three quarters of the distance around the collar( 推力环). ;Other designs employ a complete ring of pads. ;Shaft Bearings;The aftermost tunnel bearing has a top and bottom bearing shell (轴瓦)because ;because it must counteract(抵消、克服) the propeller mass and take a vertical upward thrust at the forward end of the shaft. ;The other shaft bearings, the intermediate bearings, only support the shaft weight and thus have only lower half bearing shells.;Sterntube Bearing ;It supports the tailshaft and a considerable proportion of the propeller weight. ;It also acts as a gland(机械密封管) to prevent the entry of sea water to the machinery space.;Early arrangements used bearing materials such as lignum vitae(铁梨木) which were lubricated by sea water. ;Most modern designs use an oil lubrication arrangement for a white metal lined sterntube bearing. ;Special seals are fitted at the outboard(舷外的) and inboard(舷内的) ends of the tailshaft. ;Oil pressure in the lubrication system is hi
