LO-REZ
 An
epidemic of torsional fatigue failures plagueing engines,
gearboxes, clutches, couplings, shafting and propulsion systems
in general -- along with extreme global vibration levels in
ships -- stimulated the development in the early 1950s of
remedial equipment (such as vibration isolators, 'soft' flexible
couplings and torsional vibration dampers) and specialist
analytical services.
Consulting
engineer Ted Spaetgens -- aware then diesel engines should
be torsionally isolated from their driven equipment to avoid
fatigue failure of the crankshaft and the equipment -- created
the Lo-Rez steel-spring coupling, which retuned systems to
much lower natural frequencies and effectively isolated the
engine.
Since
its founding in 1956, Lo-Rez Vibration Control has been dedicated
to the design and manufacture of vibration control equipment.
Our historical committment to research and development and
our exacting standards of manufacture lead to high-quality
products that show proven results in the field.
For
example, the LO-REZ SOFT MOUNT® SYSTEM, in place in over
375 marine propulsion applications in the world, produces
typical vibration isolation efficiency of 97% with noise levels
of 62-70dBA.
Committed
to system performance, LO-REZ provides extensive services
and test facilities, providing certification prior and subsequent
to overhaul when required. Comprehensive technical specifications
and performance data on all LO-REZ systems and components
are available upon request.
The
LO-REZ product portfolio also includes:
SS - Flexible Couplings
VI - Vibration Isolators
RT - Flexible Couplings
The "Soft-Mount" Package
VTD - Viscous Torsional Dampers
TL - Torque Limiters
Stainless Steel Laminated Disc Couplings
