Well type Azimuth Thruster

It is mounted in the well. The stem length varies with the requirement of the application. The top mounting plate of the well should be above the waterline so that the rudder propeller can be installed and removed when the ship is floating.

Well installation varies with the distance between the rudder propeller and the diesel engine .When the engine room is very small ,the rudder propeller can be near to the diesel engine and suitable for application in long range transmission between diesel engine and rudder propeller.

The well installation is especially for tugs, ferries, well station, floating dock and survey ships.Propeller diameter from 500mm-4200 mm,drive power 20 kw -4500 kw .

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.

In board installation, with the steerable thruster to be mounted from either top or bottom. Jinbo Marine can supply the full propulsion package including prime mover and intermediate shafting.
