Marine Rudder Pintle
The marine rudder pintle is a pivotal component in the steering mechanism of a ship, crucial for its navigation and maneuverability. It works in conjunction with the rudder, which is used to steer the ship by deflecting water flow and changing the vessel's direction.
Marine rudder pintles are typically made from durable and corrosion-resistant materials such as the stainless steel, forged steel and alloy steel. These materials can ensure longevity and reliable performance in harsh marine environments.
Overview
The rudder pintle is a part of rudder system. A pintle is a bolt used to attach a rudder to a rudder post or to a hanging arm. It is generally made into a conical body. The rudder pintle is divided into upper pintle and lower pintle according to location and function. The pintle is typically paired with a gudgeon, which is a socket or bracket attached to the rudder or sternpost, allowing the pintle to be inserted. Together, the pintle and gudgeon system holds the rudder in place while still allowing it to move freely, making them essential for the ship's maneuverability.
