TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
Hydraulic topbracings are installed on side of engine only, aft and fore, in pairs
The cylinders are single acting, with a self-return mechanism.
If forces above the maximum allowed occurs, the relief-valve will open and high-pressure oil will flow to the low-
pressure side where it is accumulated in a pressurized chamber.
When forces are again in the normal range or "negative" the "air-spring" will ensure a controlled outwards force
by pressing the oil back to the high-pressure side.
The pressurization of the accumulator-chamber is by pneumatic pressure which is to besupplied by the ships
compressed-air system and regulated to correct pressure by the pressure-control-valve in the control panel
One panel for each pair of cylinders fore & aft.

INSTALLATION
Welding of flanges
Engine and hull

1. Preparation:
2. Check that all parts are present, ie Cylinders, handpump, oil, fillhoses, gauges.

2.2 Tools to be used are Allen-key to M16 bolts, hoists, strings etc.
2.3 Weldflanges should be welded with the long rectangular "side" horizontal.

778 mm W- 10 mm

Weld outside and in centerhole

Engine
Hull

2.4 Distance between flanges to be controlled ace. to drawing within +/-10 mm (3/8")
2.6 Welding flanges onto hull and engine is to be within a tolerance axial of 5 mm.
2.7 To ensure the correct distance between flanges and secure a correct axial tolerance the cylinders can be
ordered with a welding jig/fixture. If so follow the drawing and instructions delivered with this.
Page 4

3. Welding:
3.1 Weld outside on flanges just to fasten the 2 weldflanges and check for alignment.
3.2 Weld both inside the centerhole and around the circumference using good craftmanship to ensure a "flat"
surface of the flange. If it creates a sphere with a high center, risk of snapping bolts in service is high.
3.3 After welding in place you are now ready to install the cylinders

4. Preparing the cylinders for installation:

Cylinders must be at almost minimum strokelength before installation.
4.1 Installing the cylinder

Hoist cylinder down untill it

rests on the foot and secure
with 4 M16x40 bolts

Be careful! not to
damage valve block

Foot-Plate

4.1 Use only with flawless strings to avoid a drop of more than 100 Kgs
4.2 The center of gravity is aproximately 130 mm from rear flange
4.3 Use good steel bolts and washers.
4.4 Do not tighten as you need to "fine-tune" the vertical position later.

Use supplied
eye-bolts both sides
Pages
5. Installing the small end

Fit the «nail flange on the engine

secure with 4 M16x40 bolts

and use washers

5.1 Use bolts and washers as for the cylinder

6. Installing the push-rod and the first adjustment

Use a string in the eyebott on

push-rod to prevent a drop adjust to shortest length

Tip: Use a little grease

6.1 After inserting the bearings, the push-rod must be put between them and adjusted to "just the right length"
Page 6

7. Set-up and preparing for pipe-installation

Adjust the adjustment-nut so that the length of the

push-rod is only long enough not to fall out

Technical description of the service- & controlpanel

Function:
The service- and controlpanel serves the purpose of, from a remote spot, filling the cylinders, bleeding the two
oilchambers in the cylinders and monitor the internal pressure of the cylinder, to get the correct static load
between engine and hull, and to ensure that the cylinders are oilfilled at all times. This can be checked easily on
the panels gauges.
How and where to install it:
See drawing 10193 B for mounting threads.
The panel is installed no longer than 5M from the cylinders and ALWAYS at a higher level to ensure best
bleeding of air during oil-filling.

Installation of the service- & controlpanel

Follow drawing 10237 carefully, see also separate panel-installation guide

An air-supply is connected to pressureregulator inlet, 1/4" BSP, at the left side of panel, with a size of min.
1/4"I.D. and min. 5 bars of line pressure. Normally there is no air-consumption during operation.
The air-line from panel, port 4,1/4" BSP, to the cylinders should be connected to the inletport, 1/4"BSP, at the
front of the main piston The fitted plug, if any, should be removed and saved as a spare-part.
Do not forget to use flexible piping or hoses as the cylinders move with engine/hull vibration at speed

Bleed-ports marked "Y1" and "Y2" on top of cylinders, 1/4"BSP, are connected to panel-ports 13 & 23 and 11 &
21 respectively for the 2 cylinders.
Note: let all numbers ending on 1, i.e. 1,11, 21, 31 go to one cylinder and all ending on 3, i.e. 3,13, 23, 33 go
to the other.
It is of the utmost importance that these oilfilling lines are of best craftmanship to avoid any leaks that may
seriously endanger the operation of the unit.

8. Filling and bleeding

8.1 Fill the hand-pump with oil (se type in the spec's page 3)
8.2 Open the Bleed-valve LP
8.3 Fit the quick-connector on the pump-hose in the female part on top of the service-panel
8.4 Start pumping.
Oil will now fill the cylinder and the inside air will come out through the bleed-valve.
When oil runs out with no sign of bubles, the air in the low-pressure chamber is bled.
Close the valve again.
Continue pumping, refill pumpreservoir as often as necessary DO NOT RUN PUMP DRY.
Check that the cylinder push-rod is now starting to move out
When it has reached the length where the stroke-indicator has the green band inside the guide lock
the position by adjusting the lock-nut to a firm grip and lock it with the screw, so the screw goes into the
nearest "groove" in the M50 thread
There are 2 torque-bars in the tool-box to help doing this.
8.5 IF the cylinder can not extend itself untill the stroke-indicator has the green band inside the guide you must
loosen the lock-nut to let it travel further out. Then lock as described above.

Oil will now fill the HP-chamber in the cylinder and the inside air will come out through the bleed-valve.
When oil runs out with no sign of bubles, the air in the high-pressure chamber is bled.
Close the valve again.
Continue pumping, refill pumpreservoir if necessary.
Check that the cylinder push-rod colour-bands are static to tell that piston is not moving further out.
9.5 Observe that the small position-pin near the stroke-indicator is now mowing out and the pumping must
continue until! the position-pin has the same length as the stroke-indicator, within a few millimeters.
9.6 The pressure gauge should now show the same pressure as the air-supply gauge, minimum 3,5 Bars.

Maintenance at sea
READ THIS BEFORE ANY ACTION.

Service in shop.
Part 1: To remove topbracing cylinder from point of installation:

1. Adjust air-supply to 0 bar on the service-panel

Remove air-line at the front of the cylinder
Remove oil-lines from the top (2) and the bottom (1). Have spilltray ready for oil from cylinder (4 Litres)
Loosen the adjustment-nut to give slack and 'shorten" the push-rod enough to remove it and its bearings.
The bearings are loose, so be sure not to drop them.

2. Secure a good string around the cylinder-body to hoist it away.

Note: The bracing-cylinder weighs approx 140 Kgs (290 Ibs) and may be slippery because of oil, so due
caution should be taken to avoid a drop . Do not lift in valve-block, or let strings harm it.

3. In case of push-rod not being able to come out first then take care:
When pulling the bracing-cylinder away from the flanges, the push-rod can come loose as it is not permanent
connected to the cylinder piston.

Part 2: Opening the topbracing cylinder in the workshop:

4. Drain for oil, fit a compressed-air hose to the air-inlet and pressurize to aprox 2 bar, as this will push the
transfer-barrier piston down squeezing any remaining oil out of the cylinder. Beware of oil-spray in eyes.
Disassembly:
5. Open the cylinder as per following instructions and check with the drawing 10433
5.1 Remove anti-rotation pin and guide at front of cylinder
5.2 Fit lift- yoke, Pull-out main piston, do not let it fall out by gravity.
5.3 Remove bolts each end of piston to reveal the internal transfer-barrier piston. Remove
carefully the piston "upwards" and the positionpin is twisted out of the groove in the transfer-barrier piston
5.4 Remove pistonbottom and all bearings and seals and fit new ones from the Seal-Kit.
5.5 Check for damage to all super-finish surfaces and report if any surface looks worn but "usable". If scratches
look too deep, the part should be replaced.
Assembly:
5.6 Fit main piston-barrel to front-plate
5.7 Fit transfer-barrier piston in main piston, be sure that grove is upwards
Note orientation of piston-crown, and slip the positionpin from the outside through nipple into groove.where it
"clicks" in place. It is very important to follow drawing at this point. After this action, pull the positionpin
gently from the front to see if it has engaged properly.
5.8 Fit main piston bottom-plate to piston-barrel, check that check-valve is clean and ball is in place.
5.9 Fit main piston in cylinder, Note: lubricate well before sliding it in. Watch for any seals being cut during
the slide-in. Re-fit anti-rotation pin and guide.

Part 3: Filling, bleeding and preparing for re-installation

6. Place cylinder on rear flange, (Stroke = 0)

6.1 Fit a compressed-air hose to the air-inlet and charge with 2 bar then remove.
6.2 Tilt the cylinder to horizontal, with a support on the front to get it level.

Part 4: Reinstallation

7.0 Fit cylinder to original position according to this manual

7.1 Fill and bleed
7.2 Check service-panel gauges for pressure and the cylinders for stroke-indicator and position-pin orientation
Page 12

THIS IS WHAT CAN BE EXPECTED IN DUTY

SYMPTOMS:
Unit suspected defective: It "rattles" as loose, possibel airloss.
No oil-spill visible, guide almost in or in the green band on antirotation-pin.

1. Check air-line for pressure.

2. Adjust airpressure-regulator to 3,5 - 4 bar.
3. Remove air-line at cylinderfront to see if air gets to cylinder, a bent or flat" copper-tube could block supply

Unit suspected defective: possibly worn sealings.

Oil-spill visible, unit is believed to be OK, guide almost in or in the green band on pin

1. Fit oil-filling pump to oil-filling port farthest from flange.

2. Pump in oil in until! position-dipstick has moved to same length as anti-rotation pin.
3. Remove oil-pump.
4. Check unit after 10 hours and again after 100 hours.

Unit not suspected defective: possibly steel deflections

Guide is in the upper red band of anti-rotationpin, bracing-cyl. is "compressed", function is OK.
This indicates that hull and engine has leaned towards each other.
Risk of piston hitting cylinder bottom and damaging unit.

1. Use torque-bars to unscrew adjusting-nut on push-rod, (making it shorter, max 15mm) Remember to hold
counter on push-rod with extra torque-bar. Go on until! in the middle of the green band again.
2. Be sure that internal pressure in cylinder has compensated for the slack, and then lock nut again.
3. If position-dipstick is shorter than anti-rotation pin fill as in Part 5.

Unit not suspected defective: possibly steel deflections

Guide is in the lower red band of anti-rotationpin, bracing-cyl. is "extended", function is OK.
This indicates that hull and engine has leaned away from each other.
Risk of cylinder loosing function and ability to cope with frequency of ship.

1. Use torque-bars to screw adjusting-nut on push-rod, (making push-rod longer). Remember to hold counter
on push-rod with extra torque-bar. Continue until! "between rings" in the green band again.
2. Be careful! that you do not extend more than 15mm. max. If not enough, a spacer between weldflange and
cylinderflange in the "small" end is necessary, use 10 or 20mm steel plate tailor made to original flange
dimensions or place an order for a genuine spare-part.
3. This operation is hampered by the ships motion and the internal oil pressure-relief valve,
making adjustments difficult. If nothing works you can ease the operation by opening the oil-bleeding port just
slightly till the oil starts to sweat, not more, but be careful! not to loose a lot of oil.
4. Lock the nut again, watch the unit work for a while.
5. Check that both anti-rotation pin and position pin has same length. If not repeat part 5.

Please refer to separate drawing page 13 for clarity on strokeindicator and position-pin
Page 13

RELATIVE POSITION OF STROKEINDICATOR AND POSITION-PIN

Strokeindicator has a red-green-red color-band through guide at front.

Position-pin is connected to the internal piston and has a relative position
that follows the stroke of the unit Therefore these two "tell-tales" must interrelate.

IDEAL POSITION UNIT TOO SHORT

THE 2 PINS ARE OF EQUAL LENGTH LOOSEN LOCK-NUT AND UNIT
WILL MOVE OUT BY ITSELF

UNIT TOO LONG

SET AIR TO ZERO BAR DURING WORK UNIT CORRECT LENGTH
OPEN HP-BLEED-VALVE AND FORCE NEEDS REFILL OF OIL
PISTON IN WITH THE PUSH-ROD CHECK FOR ANY LEAKAGE

CHANGE TO THE STIFFNES OF THE SYSTEM.

Relief-valve fitted to the valve-block can be adjusted to a different max-force limit if so desired or later controls
of vibration makes this necessary.
One full revolution clockwise raises the limit by 8 Bars (115 PSI) = 36400 N (8025 LbsF)
Or lower with the same values turned anticlockwise.
Remember to lock the locknut after readjustment.
DO NOT DO THIS WITHOUT CONSULTING THE ENGINE SUPPLIER OR DEMAX ENGINEERING FIRST.
