Barge Azimuth Thruster

Deck installation is a complete compact propulsion unit.The chassis carries the whole 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.Only to connect the minimum 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.

Combined design propeller and nozzle together, enlarge diameter of propeller and low down its rotate speed, which keep high propulsion efficiency and enhance thrust force.
Carefully design the rudder-rod profile and its displace from propeller, which improve propulsion efficiency and reduce vibration, especially reduce steering torque.
Adopt high-strength gear and bearing of high speed, seals and pipeline also being carefully design, which improve the system’s reliability and longevity.
The steering mechanism can be drived by electrical motor or hydraulic motor.
According to the difference of operation condition, it can be divided into three kind: FPP with nozzle, CPP with nozzle, without nozzle.
