Marine Mounts and Propeller Thrust
A marine propulsion engine does something no static machine does: it pushes the whole vessel forward through its own mounting feet. That axial thrust, combined with vessel roll, pitch and the reversing loads of going astern, means an engine mount designed for a factory floor is simply the wrong component. Marine mounts are built to take that thrust while still isolating the engine’s firing vibration from the hull.
The BMR series achieves this through directionally tuned stiffness. The rubber element is shaped so that the mount is comparatively soft in the vertical axis, where isolation of engine vibration matters most, and considerably stiffer fore and aft, where thrust and shock have to be reacted into the bed plate. That asymmetry is what makes the mount suitable for internal combustion propulsion engines rather than just generator duty.
The construction is fail-safe. Steel components interlock so that the engine remains restrained on its bearers even in the event of rubber failure, which is a survey requirement on many commercial vessels and a sensible precaution on any craft that will see open water.
The same characteristics that suit a wheelhouse also suit harsh shore installations. BMR mounts are regularly specified for generator sets, diesel engines, pumps and compressors in coastal, offshore and agricultural environments where salt, humidity and corrosive atmospheres shorten the life of ordinary mountings. ABAW holds stock in Sharjah for UAE marine yards and exports to GCC and African ports.

Loads are maximum static values per mount. For propulsion applications the mount must also be checked against propeller thrust and astern loading, so share the engine make, power rating, gearbox and shaft arrangement and we will confirm the selection.
