Manoeuvring Systems Energy-Saving Devices Becker Marine Systems PIONEERING IN MARINE TECHNOLOGY Founded by Willi Becker in 1946, Becker Marine Systems has developed into a company known worldwide for its innovative ship manoeuvring solutions as well as energy savings on the high seas and at port. With the invention of the Becker Flap Rudder, market leadership for high performance rudders was already attained in the 1960s. As the technology leader, Becker is the standard for manoeuvring solutions. Spade rudders, twisted rudders, maintenance-free rudders and rudder bulb solutions have been developed...

Energy-Saving Devices Manoeuvring Systems Becker Flap • Container feeders • Optimised profile • Shuttle tankers • Reduced weight • General cargo carriers/ heavy lifters • Highest possible lift • Cruise liners • Improved course keeping • Push boats • Best propeller coverage • Improved manoeuvrability • Research vessels • Fishing vessels Rudder stock Linkage system Rudder trunk Hinge system Moveable flap BECKER FLAP With a Becker Flap solution, captains are able to operate the vessel laterally. By using the Becker Flap, smaller ports or river operations in particular will generate a huge potential...

Energy-Saving Devices Manoeuvring Systems Rudder Options KSR – KING SUPPORT RUDDER In order to build full spade rudders of unlimited size and slim profile thickness, Becker Marine Systems developed the KSR (King Support Rudder) bearing arrangement. With this arrangement, the rudder trunk is extended into the rudder blade so that the lower neck bearing is positioned as close as possible to the centre of force acting on the rudder. Due to the shorter lever arm, stresses and bending torques in the rudder stock and trunk are significantly reduced. The reaction forces in the neck and carrier bearings...

Energy-Saving Devices Manoeuvring Systems Rudder Options FLEXTAIL® – COMPOSITE RUDDER FLAP Becker presents the newly developed Flextail® Rudder Flap. It features an innovative design of the improved fibre-composite flap for better flow and load handling. Composites not only provide outstanding resistance properties at low weight, but many more capabilities in a load-optimised and functional shape design. Particularly for smaller components such as flaps, composite materials allow the manufacture of profile surfaces with better propulsion properties, improved lift generation and a slim design with...
