3. Todays standard for L/S60 and 70MC/MC-C

L60MC-C and L70MC-C

Reasons for introduction of L60MC-C and L70MC-C.
Meet the grooving demands for more powerful engines especially
for medium sized container ships and large container feeder
vessels.

Many requests for uprating of L60MC and L70MC engines.

Improvement of the competitiveness of medium bore

L-type engines.

Design Features of
L60MC-C and L70MC-C
The main design features are similar to those of the well-known
compact engines S50/60/70MC-C:

Short cylinder distance

Twin stay bolts
Thin shell main bearings
Crankshaft with increased journal diameters
Cylinder frame with integrated camshaft housing
Simple crosshead pin and wide guide shoe

The following design features are introduced on

L60MC-C and L70MC-C:

Pistons with Oros design

Frame box with triangle support of guide bars
Bore cooled cylinder liner also for L60MC-C

(2600/RL)

Advantages of 'Twin' Staybolt Design

Design Features

Simplified casting of
the main bearing
saddle
Simplified welding
process, as staybolt
tubes have been
omitted
Reduced deformation
of the crosshead
guides, which
ensures improved
sliding condition for
the guide shoes
No deformation of the
main bearing bore
from tightening the
staybolts
