MTM470: The first mechanical seal system for propeller shaft electronically controlled in the world

The MTM470 is the first mechanical seal system for propeller shaft electronically controlled in the world.

Based on the mechanics of the MTM400, it joins the already known mechanical revolutions with the first system managed by a software that allows you to control on the monitors controller or directly in the engine room the operating status of the mechanical seals in real time.

The 7 sensors incorporated in the MTM470 control, record and analyze respectively: radial and axial vibrations, temperature of the cooling medium, the pressure of the cooling fluid, temperature of the sliding faces, speed in revolutions per minute and wear, or the degree of deterioration of the sliding faces.

The software record all these values and transmits them in various languages (CAN BUS, CAN OPEN, TCP/IP) to the monitors controller in which the operator can view them with different levels of instructions (green field, where conditions are in the limits set by Microtem, yellow field in which the measured values enter the alert threshold and red field, when the detected

values generate an alarm operation indicating that you should immediately check the operating status in order to avoid damage).
