The impact does not always end where the damage begins

In a propulsion system, everything is connected. A small deformation, a minimal deviation, or a component operating out of tolerance can eventually lead to vibrations, loss of performance, premature wear, and far more serious failures.

In this project, we were faced with two twin propellers that had been seriously affected by an incident that compromised their original geometry. And when it comes to marine propulsion, losing the correct geometry means losing efficiency, increasing vibrations and compromising the operation of the entire system.

During the inspection, we also detected that the struts showed significant damage caused by the collision. A component that is often invisible, yet absolutely essential to ensure proper alignment, stability and shaft operation.

A deformed strut can cause unnecessary stress, constant vibrations and premature wear across the entire propulsion system.

The first step was to reconstruct one of the propellers and perform a high-precision 3D scan to obtain its exact measurements and digitally recover its original geometry. We repeated the same process with a strut, obtaining an exact reading of its geometry and a precise diagnosis that allowed us to make the best technical decision: repair the existing components or manufacture new elements fully aligned with the original specifications.

In the end, we directly ordered new units fully adjusted to the correct tolerances. This level of control and precision allows us to ensure that every component fits perfectly within the system and that the entire propulsion line returns to operating exactly as it should.

The ultimate goal is always the same: to restore the captain’s peace of mind, allowing safe navigation with a reliable, efficient, and vibration-free system.
