CUTTING-EDGE RESEARCH BY KONGSBERG AND ATA GEARS MAKES NEW DISCOVERIES ABOUT TFF
André Böhme has a mission: fighting TFF. Subsurface fatique, TIFF or TFF, is causing several unforeseen gear failures and thruster replacements every year. It is the predominant failure mode on bevel gears used in azimuth thrusters onboard state-of-the-art vessels. And fatigue or overload can destroy any gear. For good reason, there is very innovative, comprehensive
