Marine Hydraulic Tunnel Thruster

Application

A marine hydraulic tunnel thruster is a type of propulsion system used in ships and boats to provide additional maneuverability and control. It is a hydraulic motor-driven propeller that is mounted in a tunnel on the bow or stern of the vessel. The hydraulic motor provides power to the propeller, which generates a sideways force that can be used to turn the ship.

Hydraulic tunnel thrusters are commonly used in large vessels, as they can provide high levels of thrust and are able to handle heavier loads. They are also more reliable than electric thrusters, as they are not affected by power outages or other electrical issues. Hydraulic tunnel thrusters can be controlled using a joystick or a computerized system, which allows for precise and smooth maneuvering of the vessel. They can also be integrated with other ship systems, such as GPS and autopilot, to provide seamless operation.

Due to the fierce market competition, the phenomenon of low quality of other winch suppliers is frequent. What is the difference between us and other low-quality suppliers?

The specific differences are as follows:

Part name	Other low quality suppliers	Result	Our factory	Consequence
Hydraulic Motor Type	Other brands	High power consumption, relatively poor quality.	DONGFANG or XINGHONG brand	Cost-effective, good quality. With brake, high safety.
Propeller	Cast iron	Easy to corrode, easy to rust	Stainless steel	Good corrosion resistance, high hardness
	Cast iron	Easy to corrode, easy to rust	Manganese Bronze (Cu1)	It has high strength, hardness and good plasticity, can well withstand pressure processing in hot and cold states, has good corrosion resistance, and has high thermal strength.
	Brass	Dezincification is easy to occur in seawater, resulting in cavitation corrosion and affecting navigation safety.	Ni-Mn Bronze (Cu2)	High strength, good hardness, good wear resistance, good elasticity, no spark, corrosion resistance, non-magnetic, excellent cold working performance, excellent electroplating and welding performance.
	Brass		Ni-Al-Bronze (Cu3)	Excellent comprehensive mechanical properties, resistance to stress corrosion cracking, corrosion fatigue resistance, cavitation corrosion resistance, erosion resistance, marine biofouling resistance. After heat treatment, it can reach the level of duplex stainless steel. Compared with brass, the corrosion resistance is three times that of brass, and the wear resistance is twice that of brass.
Tunnel	Other brands	Easy to corrode, relatively poor quality	WANXIANG / HONGBO	Corrosion resistance, good quality, cost-effective

Maintenance advice

1. Regularly check whether there is leakage of hydraulic oil in the side thruster of the ship, regularly add tallow to the moving bearings and couplings, and replenish the hydraulic oil of the system in time.

2. Clean the dust in the ship's thruster control panel in time and check the working condition of the ACB.

If the ACB fails to close there are several reasons:

2.1. The control circuit has no electricity;

2.2. The main switch energy storage motor does not store energy normally;

2.3. There is no closing signal to the main switch closing coil;

2.4. The main switch under voltage coil has no electricity.
