Abstract

Generally, the gap-and-sag method is used in the shipbuilding stage before coupling the shafts to check whether they are installed at the same position as designed and derived from shaft alignment calculation. The primary installed propeller shaft becomes a reference point, the position of the remaining shafts are sequentially determined through the gap-and-sag value derived from the deflection and deflection angle at each shaft flange by own weight. If the reference point varies against the design value, it would have a series of effects on the installation of the remaining shafts. Moreover, after coupling the shafts, even if the bearing reaction forces derived from measurement are satisfied by the allowable limit range, consequently it might have an adverse effect on the stability of the shafting system by not being able to estimate the relative slope angle between the propeller shaft and the after-stern tube bearing. In this paper, to deal with above-mentioned phenomenon, the theoretical calculations related to designing an effective support point of the aft stern tube bearing and analysis by measurement is conducted through a case of open-up inspections. Based on this, a shaft installation guideline is proposed to minimize the misalignment related to preventing wiping damage of the after-stern tube bearing.

갭색법(gap & sag method)은 선박 건조과정에서 축을 조립하기 전 최종적으로 축이 축계정렬 설계치와 동일한 위치에 거치되었는지의 여부를 확인하기 위해 사용되고 있는 방법이며, 조립 전 프로펠러축을 기준축으로 하여 양 축의 플랜지에서 축 자중에 의해 발생하는 갭색값을 통해 나머지 축계의 위치를 순차적으로 확정해 나간다. 만일 설계치와 다르게 기준축이 거치되는 경우 연쇄적으로 나머지 축의 거치에 영향을 주게 된다. 또한, 축 조립 후 검증과정에서 측정된 베어링 반력이 설령 설계치를 만족하더라도 선미관 후부측에서의 프로펠러축과 베어링간 상대적경사각을 추정할 수 없게 됨으로써 결과적으로 축계의 안정성에 부정적인 영향을 미칠 수 있다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위하여 본 연구에서는 실제 선미관 베어링 발열 및 개방검사 사례를 통해 선미관 베어링 유효지지점에 관한 이론계산 및 실측치분석 연구를 수행하고 이를 바탕으로 축계 정렬오차를 최소화하기 위한 축계 시공방법을 제안하였다.
