IACS Approved Marine Rudder Propeller / Marine Azimuth Thruster ( 500mm-3000mm)

The rudder propeller is one series of our products.We introduced the rudder propeller technology from SCHOTTEL of Germany in 1986. The rudder propeller made by us has been approved by the China Classification Society and other international Classification Societies. And the products have been successfully installed, used and served on the ships. They are sailing in oceanic area of home and abroad. Rudder propeller is today used for all types and size of ships.We can provide with a series of specifications of Rudder propeller. 

The propeller can be freely steered through 360 degrees around the stem. Therefore the Rudder propeller is a combined propulsion and steering unit, sothat the full thruster is available in any direction for the ship.

If the prime engine is electric or hydraulic motor, the upper gearbox can be eliminated. The electric or hydraulic motor can be vertically mounted on the fixed flange and the power will be transmitted through a bevel gear in lower gearbox on to the propeller(L-drive).

The rudder propeller can be operated by mechanical, hydraulic or electric-hydraulic unit, and can be in activ service as main propulsion, auxiliary propulsion and dynamic positioning of the ship, which are usually used in tugs, puch boats, ferry boats and barges etc. Now the company is developing higher power RP to satisfy requirements from market.

There are three installation types: Transom installation, Well installation, Deck installation.
