Marine Retractable Bow Thruster
The marine retractable bow thruster, also called marine retractable tunnel thruster, is mounted on the bow or stern of the ship, which can generate lateral thrust and allow the ship to change its angle in restricted areas, thus improving maneuverability. The marine retractable bow thruster can be driven by an electric motor, hydraulic motor or diesel engine and other driving sources through a suitable gear reduction ratio. The drive part is assembled in the entire side push cylinder structure. The entire equipment is installed in the hull position reserved for the bow or stern of the ship.
Feature:
High maneuverability
Excellent dynamic positioning ability
Enhanced control system
Easy installation and maintenance
Overview
The marine retractable bow thruster is suitable for all kinds of ships, large ocean transport ships and ocean engineering ships with dynamic positioning function. It can provide the ship with port or starboard lateral thrust tube propulsion device, which can effectively improve the maneuverability and maneuverability of the ship. It can be divided into adjustable pitch bow thruster or fixed pitch bow thruster.
The bow thruster is common and essential on various ships and vessels, with a tunnel installed through the bow below the waterline and the thruster is inserted into the tunnel from inside the boat. The tunnel is usually constructed of fiberglass or aluminum tubing, depending on the material of the hull, which both protects the thruster unit and concentrates the thrust from the propeller.
