Steerable Thruster
360° azimuth (steerable) thruster in Z-drive or L-drive configuration, with bevel gears, hydraulic worm-gear steering and optional nozzle; replaces propeller-rudder systems on tugs, ferries and DP vessels.
Description
The Steerable Thruster (azimuth thruster) combines propulsion and steering in one modular unit that rotates a full 360° horizontally, delivering thrust in any direction without a rudder. It can be installed at the stern, bow or bottom of the hull.
Construction
- Z-drive and L-drive configurations
- Bevel gear transmission from horizontal input to propeller shaft
- Hydraulically driven worm and worm-gear steering with continuous 360° rotation and angle locking
- Propeller with optional flow-guiding nozzle
- Corrosion-resistant marine alloy housings, sealed for submerged operation
Key features
- Translation, turning on the spot and low-speed station keeping
- Multiple units can work together for dynamic positioning
- No rudder, reducing hull resistance
- Quick-replacement wear parts (gears, seals, hydraulic components); service life stated at over ten years with proper maintenance
Applications
- Harbour tugs
- Offshore wind maintenance, cable-laying and crane vessels
- River cargo and passenger ships, ferries
- Cruise ships, yachts and research vessels
