Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh, India, 04/25/2009 - Larsen & Toubro, Marine Business Unit, HED, Powai, working on a marine propulsion shafting project placed orders for the hydraulic tools and mounting aids required for fitting the half coupling on propellor shafts with Schaaf GmbH.

Just for better understanding, on the forward end of the propeller shaft, there is a half coupling that is press fitted on the propeller shaft taper. Half coupling in turn is then bolted to the intermediate shaft via bolts. The torque from half coupling to propeller shaft is transmitted due to the friction created by press fitting.
Schaaf GmbH supplied the complete set of tools for two ship sets for the project including Hydraulic Nuts of 320mm dia, Hydraulic High Pressure Hand Pumps of 1600 bar, high pressure adaptors and hoses.The delivery was made within 90 days of order receipt. Says Satish Agrawal, India Representative for Schaaf GmbH "the Larsen & Toubro project was challenging for us as Schaaf worked with L&T from an early stage of design that helped us understand the clients needs better, translating them into optimal solutions. As far as product supplies are concerned, you will find a Schaaf product is most steel, cement, and mining companies in any part of the world. Schaaf is OEMs first choice and this helps Schaaf's product reach every part of the globe with the OEs equipment." Schaaf now looks forward to working with other engineering companies in India on similar assignments.
