Barge Azimuth thruster

Barge Azimuth thruster:

Deck installation is a complete propulsion package .It is a reliable and compact propulsion plant. The chassis carries the totally enclose propulsion system. The power of the diesel engine is transmitted to the rudder propeller through an elastic coupling ,a hydraulic clutch and a universal shaft. The chassis is constructed with a hydraulic system, an electric control box, daily fuel tank and so on system units. Installation is fast and simple because they are essentially self con rained .Only to connect the minimum boses and cables can make it available to obtain thrust. The deck installation unit merely has to be mounted and bolted onto a foundation of deck. Rudder propeller is mounted at the rear chassis.

Characteristics:
1.The propeller is combined design with nozzle. Plus its suitable large diameter and low rotating speed design, the propulsive force and efficiency are hence improved;
2.the shape of rudder-rod and its distance to propeller are optimized so as to further improve efficiency and reduce vibration and steering moment;
3.The reliability and service life are increased significantly by using high strength gears, high rotating speed bearings and well-designed leak tightness and oil way;
4.The steering mode can be hydraulic motor-driven or electrical motor-driven
5.According to the propeller, it can be divided into FPP and CPP type, open or with nozzle.
6.Application: tug boat, harbor workboat, service ship, ferry and engineering ship
