Our experience in this market includes the servicing of spare parts requirements for marine clutches, brakes, couplings and friction material used in marine propulsion and deck equipment. Our products and expertise extend to any make crane, hoist, anchor windlass and auxiliary drive system. We have successfully retrofitted old style clutches and brakes with modern technology for the Navy and a wide variety of commercial vessels. Another area with which we are quite familiar is torsional vibration and its related problems and solutions. We can also supply new or rebuilt air starters for large horsepower diesel engines.

Tugs

The Rowland Company supplies parts and service for all types of brakes and clutches in the marine industry. Eaton-Airflex and Falk account for 90% of the air clutches used on marine gears and transmissions. We stock Falk style clutches in 30", 35", 40", and 48" sizes, as well as drums and related parts. Our shop also relines clutch shoes, brake bands and friction discs for any application. Torsional couplings from Eaton/Geislinger, Centa, Vulkan and Holset are also part of our marine offerings.

Also we have a wide range of cutless and stave bearings. A variety of sizes are standard or bearings can be custom fabricated. In addition bearings we can also supply cooling, sealing and fendering systems.

Barge

The Rowland Company supplies brake linings for most any type of brake band used on dredges or cranes. We also supply new steel bands to your specifications.

Most pumping engine packages use a bell housing PTO on the engine and a Spicer universal joint driveshaft between the PTO and the pump. Our Wichita mechanical PTO eliminates the pilot bearing that is used by Twin-Disc and Rockford in these designs and replaces it with an inexpensive clutch. Thereby, reducing maintenance costs and downtime.
