As shore power adoption grows, ports are facing a bigger challenge than electrification alone:

Can existing crane and motion infrastructure support long-term reliability demands?

For port operators and MRO teams, modernization means balancing sustainability, uptime, and maintenance performance in harsh marine environments.

Interesting read on where the industry is headed:

Maintaining motion components aboard a boat can be challenging. Between saltwater corrosion, constant vibration, dirt and debris ingress, and the need for regular lubrication, traditional metal components often require significant maintenance and can wear prematurely.

Dry-running plastic components offer a reliable alternative. Designed to operate without external lubrication, these components are corrosion-resistant, lightweight, and capable of maintaining smooth, quiet operation even in demanding marine environments.

In this blog, we cover:
✔ Why corrosion-resistant plastics outperform metal components in marine environments
✔ The advantages of grease-free, maintenance-free operation
✔ Key motion components used aboard boats, including plain bearings, linear guides, and slewing rings

As the marine industry continues to prioritize reliability, sustainability, and reduced maintenance, dry-running components are becoming an increasingly popular solution for boat and ship applications.

New Gear Design Guide: Build Better Gear Geometry

Gear performance starts with geometry.

Our new guide, Tips for Designing Effective Gear Geometries, breaks down what strong gear design looks like and what poor geometry can lead to, from increased wear and noise to reduced load capacity and reliability.

Inside, we cover:
• what defines good gear geometry
• what poor gear geometry can lead to
• practical design tips for optimizing tooth profile, pressure angle, pitch, materials, and load capacity
• why simulations, testing, and expert input matter in the design process

If gear performance matters, gear geometry needs to be right from the start.
