ABSTRACT:
A marine transmission gear unit with double drive where two driving engines are arranged offset from and on one side of and parallel to a propeller shaft axis and on opposite sides of gear train assembly including a common pinion gear and a greater wheel gear coupled to the propeller shaft. The two driving engines are arranged to drive the greater wheel gear by way of the pinion gear. An intermediate gear unit is coupled between the common pinion and at least one of the driving engines and a clutch device is disposed in the drive train adjacent the greater wheel. One or both engines are coupled to the common pinion through an intermediate gear unit. The engines can be codirectional in one direction or the opposite direction or can be contra-directed one relative to the other. The engines can be axially offset or coaxial. The clutch device may comprise an overriding clutch assembly. The intermediate gear unit may comprise either a spur gear and a planetary gear assembly, or a pair of planetary gear assemblies. Change of rotation within the gear unit can be effected easily.
