Civilian Marine
A marine engine or propulsion system generates constant vibration and noise on board a vessel. Hutchinson applies its expertise in vibration control and acoustics, developed for the aerospace, defence and space industries.

Acoustics & Vibration
An inadequately isolated propulsion system transmits most of its vibrations into the vessel structure. Our anti-vibration and acoustic systems isolate these vibrations, improving onboard comfort.
Power Transmission
Salt-laden moisture and the continuous demands of marine operation quickly wear out an inadequately designed transmission system. Our belts drive engine auxiliaries while maintaining stable tension over time, despite these demanding conditions.
Sensors / Detection & Measurement / Encoders
Moisture and continuous vibration at sea make engine-shaft speed measurement particularly challenging. Our magnetic rings remain reliable under these conditions.
Precision Sealing
A cooling or lubrication circuit continuously exposed to salt-laden moisture will eventually develop leaks without adequate protection. Our O-rings withstand this constant exposure.
Protection, Safety & Structure
Rolling and pitching continuously place loads on onboard equipment. Our levelling systems nevertheless provide reliable support and stability.
