The Power Behind Modern Ships: Revealing the Massive Engines

TLDRModern ships are powered by massive engines that vary in size. A medium-sized engine has six cylinders, a bore of 60 centimeters, and a 2.4 meter stroke. The crankcase of these engines is an enclosed space where measurements are taken to detect misalignment and bearing wear. Crank clip deflection readings help determine the condition of the crankshaft and main bearings. Regular measurements can prevent serious damage and ensure safe operation.
