Why deal with the symptoms, when we can eliminate the source! Gertsen & Olufsen Vibration Compensators are world leaders in eliminating unwanted vibrations and improving the performance and comfort of ships and power plants. The company specialises in the development, production, installation and sale of electrically driven moment compensators. Guide force moments, unbalanced moments, axial thrust- and hull beam vibrations are all un- avoidable characteristics linked to the low-speed two-stroke diesel engine. Most vibration problems are reduced by adequate conventional countermeasures such as stays and dampers. However, these only reduce the symptoms, and do not eliminate the source of the vibrations. The most common vibration-related problems and damage types are: Limitation of engine performance and hence operational economy Cracking and reduced mechanical strength of superstructures, stays and tanks Leaking, cranking and reduced mechanical strength of fuel- and lube oil piping Abnormal wear on rotating machinery and components Increased failure rate of electronic- and electric components
