Product Details

Description & Features:

Fixed pitch propeller thruster (TF Series) is usually driven by variable-frequency motor, and used with the equipment having a Variable Frequency Drive (VFD). The VFD is used to control the speed and direction of the motor, thereby controlling the thrust magnitude and direction of the thruster. The TF series thruster is typically used for small ships in dry dock and also applied to some scientific research vessels with low-noise requirements.
Controllable pitch propeller thruster (TC Series) has blades that usually operate at a constant speed, and the thrust magnitude and direction are adjusted by controlling the pitch. The TC series thruster is particularly suitable for dynamic positioning of ships or integrated maneuvering control systems. By integrating the control of propellers, thrusters and rudders, the control can be realized through a single joystick (joystick system).
The company's thrusters are mainly used for the operation of offshore working ships. To meet the needs of ships working near drilling platforms—including higher mechanical strength, reliable control systems and maximum safety factors—HAGG thrusters have the following characteristics:
Gears: Bevel gears with Klingelnberg tooth system, made of chrome-nickel steel.
Controllable pitch propeller hub: Integral cast hubs with fewer components, large piston diameter, high reliability and low operating oil pressure.
Bearings: Radial and axial loads are borne by separate bearings, which improves the stability of the thruster.
Sealing: Double seal rings between the duct and gear pod enhance water sealing performance; the top seal of the pinion shaft is equipped with a backup seal, which effectively reduces the possibility of leakage.
Feedback: Linkage rod-type feedback with linear feedback transmitters, providing better load impact resistance.

Parameters:

To meet the noise level requirements specified in the latest IMO regulations for ships to the maximum extent, we have incorporated special considerations into the gear design: gear noise is effectively reduced through a dedicated gear ratio. For the propeller blade design, moderate skew and an appropriate rake angle are adopted to minimize blade vibration; meanwhile, we strictly control the blade tip speed to not exceed 34 m/s, so as to better suppress tip cavitation of the blades. In addition, the smooth hydrodynamic lines of the thruster lower housing and hub are designed to address the issue of hub cavitation on the blades.

Application scenarios:

The TC/TF series lateral thrusters can be used on large vessels for maneuvering in narrow waterways or ports—enabling sharp turns and efficient docking and undocking—and also enhance a ship’s overall maneuverability. Additionally, they are well-suited for dynamic positioning applications.
