Marine Hydraulic Azimuth Thruster
Application
A marine hydraulic azimuth thruster is a type of propulsion system used in ships and boats that utilizes hydraulic power to rotate the thruster pod and provide thrust in any direction. The hydraulic system typically consists of a pump, motor, and piping that transfers hydraulic fluid to the thruster pod, which is mounted on a vertical axis and can rotate 360 degrees. The advantages of marine hydraulic azimuth thrusters include their high efficiency, reliability, and durability. They can provide high torque and thrust, making them suitable for larger vessels and heavy-duty applications. Additionally, hydraulic systems are often more resistant to corrosion and damage from harsh marine environments, compared to other types of propulsion systems.
Advantages
1. Higher propulsion efficiency,less noise and vibration.
2. Adopt high-strength gear and bearing to enhance seals and system’s reliability and longevity.
3. Clutch: built-in hydraulic or air pressure controlled clutch, external hydraulic clutch with reduction gear.
Features
1. Installation type:Transom installation,well installation or deck installation.
2. Steering gear for 360 degrees rotation.
3. Available in CP or FP propeller.
4. Products can be customized.
