WAF/LAF 665 – 1973
840 – 3,520 kW
Medium-power reverse-reduction gearboxes for medium-class workboats — harbor tugs, fishing trawlers, OSVs, large ferries, and special-purpose commercial vessels. Built for sustained high-load duty with class-leading torque density.
Built for Medium-Class Workboat Propulsion
Engineered for harbor tugs, OSVs, and medium commercial vessels, the WAF/LAF 665 – 1973 range delivers proven reliability and high torque density backed by over 80 years of REINTJES marine gearbox experience.
High Operating Reliability
Built-in hydraulically operated disc clutches with steel/sinter friction surfaces ensure dependable performance under continuous heavy-duty operation.
Robust Rigid Mounting
Standard rigid mounting across the range ensures stable, vibration-resistant operation in the most demanding commercial duty cycles.
Vertical & Horizontal Offset
Multiple offset configurations provide flexibility for varied engine room layouts and propeller shaft arrangements.
Low Operating Noise
Helical spur gears, case-hardened and tooth-flank ground with precision, deliver smooth, quiet operation across the full power range.
