Resilient Mounting of Generating Sets
On resiliently mounted generating sets, the diesel
engine and the alternator are placed on a common
rigid base frame mounted on the ship's/machine
house's foundation by means of resilient supports,
Conical type.
All connections from the generating set to the exter-
nal systems should be equipped with flexible con-
nections and pipes. Gangway etc. must not be
welded to the external part of the installation.
1) The support between the bottom flange of the
conical mounting and the foundation is made
with a loose steel shim. This steel shim is
adjusted to an exact measurement (min. 75
mm) for each conical mounting.
2) The support can also be made by means of two
steel shims, at the top a loose steel shim of at
least 75 mm and below a steel shim of at least
10 mm which are adjusted for each conical
mounting and then welded to the foundation.

Resilient Support

A resilient mounting of the generating set is made

with a number of conical mountings. The number
and the distance between them depend on the size
of the plant. These conical mountings are bolted to
the top flange of the base frame (see fig 1).

The setting from unloaded to loaded condition is

normally between 5-11 mm for the conical mounting.

The support of the individual conical mounting can

be made in one of the following three ways:

3) Finally, the support can be made by means of
chockfast. It is necessary to use two steel
shims, the top steel shim should be loose and
have a minimum thickness of 75 mm and the
bottom steel shim should be cast in chockfast
with a thickness of at least 10 mm.
Irrespective of the method of support, the 75 mm
steel shim is necessary to facilitate a possible future
replacement of the conical mountings, which are
always replaced in pairs.

Adjustment of Engine and Alternator on
Base Frame
The resiliently mounted generating set is normally
delivered from the factory with engine and alternator
mounted on the common base frame. Eventhough
the engine and alternator have been adjusted by the
factory with the alternator rotor placed correctly in
the stator and the crankshaft bend of the engine is
within the prescribed tolerances.
