Contra Rotating Propellers Azimuth Thruster with Deck Installation

Contra Rotating Propellers Azimuth Thruster with Deck Installation

Azimuth thruster with contra-rotating propellers combine the structure advantages of the contra-rotating propellers and the flexibility of Azimuth thruster. While providing All-directional propulsive force, the diameter of the propellers is shortened, the propulsive efficiency is improved, the vibration and noise is decreased effectively. They are mainly used in ships with special demands or with special limits, such as transportation ships, car ferries, ships for spilt oil recovery, sanitation engineering ships and others. The power range of the products is from 68HP to 4080HP.

Azimuth thruster is mainly used for propulsion and steering of vessels. It replaces conventional propulsion and rudder steering systems to perform both the propulsion and steering functions. Azimuth thruster is available in Z-drive configuration with direct diesel engine drive or in L-drive configuration for electric or hydraulic drive from overhead.
