Marine Rudder Propeller /Azimuth Thruster

Applications
Large Tugboat, Barbour Tug, Drilling Platform Vessel, Ocean Engineering Vessel
CCS, BV, RINA approvals

Advantage
Provide the all around thruster
Increase the operation flexibility of the vessel

Installation Type
Well installation, Transom installation, Platform installation
1. The well installation is especially for tugs, ferries, well station, floating dock and survey ships.
The stem length varies with the requirement of the application.
The top mounting plate of the well should, if at all possible, be above the waterline so that the Rudder Propeller can be installed and removed when the ship is floating.
Well installation varies with the distance between the Rudder Propeller and the diesel engine. When the engine room is very small, the Rudder Propeller can be near to the diesel engine and suitable for application in long-range transmission between diesel engine and rudder propeller.
2. The deck installation is a complete propulsion package. It is a reliable and compact propulsion plant.
The chassis carries the totally enclosed propulsion system.
The power of the diesel engine is transmitted to the rudder propeller through an elastic coupling, a hydaulic cluth and a universal shaft. The chassis daily fuel tank and so on.
Installation is fast and simple because they are essentially self-con-rained.
The deck installation unit merely has to be mounted and bolted onto a foundation of deck. Rudder propeller is mounted at the rear chassis.
3. Transom installation is used for ships and vessels whose space of engine room are smaller, such as floating cranes, mounting plate with sealing is fixed on the plate, which means the upper of the Rudder propeller is fixed on the pinaxis, and the lower is clamped on the puching ring.
When rleasing the thruster bearing, the propeller can easily be elevated backwards.
