An Azimuth thruster is a configuration of marine propellers placed in pods that can be rotated to any horizontal angle(zimuth), making a rudder unneccessary. These give ships better maneuverability than a fixed propeller and rudder system.
There are three type of installation ways for azimuth thruster: well installation, transom installation and deck installtion. Azimuth thruster installation types diagrammatic drawing:
Azimuth thrusters with well installtion are used for tugboat, ferryboat, drilling platform, floating dock or survey ships.The thruster is mounted in the well. The input shaft length can be varied according to the requirement of application. The top mounting plate of the well should be above the waterline so that the rudder propeller can be installed or removed when the ship is floating.
Well installation varies with the distance between the rudder-propeller and the diesel engine. When the engineroom is very small. The rudder propeller can be near the diesel engine and suitable for application in long-range transmission betweeen diesel engine and rudder propeller.
CCS, BV, ABS, GL, NK,DNV, LR, RINA classification society certificates can be provided.
Technical data sheet for well installation type azimuth thrusters is as below:
Wealida factory was established in the early of 1990's. All the products are designed and manufactured according to the international standard. Every products you will receive is under strictly inspection and testing, to make sure the good quality.
