Hydraulic Azimuth Thruster
Hydraulic azimuth thruster drive the propellers directly by hydraulic motor with the advantages of compact structure, convenient install and easy maintainance, lower use cost. The power range of the products is from 50HP to 500HP. hydraulic azimuth thruster is suitable for yachts, open body mud ships, easy type engineering ships and others.
Azimuth thruster is a configuration of marine propeller used to enhance maneuverability for escorting vessel or ship docking services. Azimuth thruster can rotate 360º to achieve better maneuverability than than of a fixed propeller or rudder system.The azimuth thrusters Can be installed as well installated type or deck type. Propeller as fixed or controllable. Azimuth thrusters are major variants, based on the location of the motor. According to different operation condition, azimuth thruster can be divided into three kinds: FPP with nozzle, CPP with nozzle, without nozzle. It is widely use on tugs, passenger ships, inland and coasting vessels,ferries,supply-boats and survey ships etc. Hydraulic Azimuth Thruster Feathures: ¤ Higher propulsion efficiency and thrust force ¤ Less noice and vibration, reducing steering torque ¤ Adopt high-strength gear and bearing to enhance seals and system’s reliability and longevity. ¤ Steering mechanism: hydraulic or electric motor ¤ Clutch: built-in hydraulic or air pressure controlled clutch, external hydraulic clutch with reduction gear Hydraulic Azimuth Thruster Certificates: ABS,CCS,DNV,LR,GL,RINA,etc. Hydraulic Azimuth Thruster Datas
