Thruster Systems

Side - Power AC thruster systems AC thrusters are delivered complete with all required components to get the thruster connected to the S-link control system. Each thruster have been configured according to the specific working conditions and specifications. No further setup of the VFD (variable frequency drive) is required. The innovative S-link digital control system ensures fast and trouble free installation, and incorporates monitoring of the system while operated and gives you the unique option to combine hydraulic and AC thrusters in a thruster system. All with variable speed control. The...

Hydraulic thruster systems The leading position of Side-Power thrusters is a clear result of focus on the products performance, functionality and reliability. For many years Side-Power has been the one brand that others have tried to copy, but through extensive research and development we have remained ahead of the pack. Over the last ten years we have evolved into the Commercial and Superyacht sectors with the SP550 thruster, allowing us to gain the necessary experience to satisfy these sectors. One point that makes us different from many of the traditional suppliers found in the Commercial...

Side - Power facts Side-Power thrusters are the choice of the leading boat manufacturers around the world. Our engineering and development work is the foundation for the high quality products that have been accepted as the best in the industry. Safety Side-Power thrusters include several features to ensure the safety of your vessel and its ­ assengers. These features protect against ­ echnical and operator faults. p t • Mechanical protection of drive gear with flex couplers. • Electronic protection against sudden change of drive direction. • Protection against accidental operation incorporated...

The Boat-Builder’s Choice Through our close cooperation with major boatbuilders we know how important an easy and proper installation is. Our hydraulic thruster systems are designed to install easily. Installation Side-Power hydraulic systems are designed for ultimate reliability, performance and easy installation. For the installer, perhaps the most important feature of any hydraulic s ­ ystem is that they are delivered ready for ­nstallation. Side-Power hydraulic systems i are manufactured with this in mind and each hydraulic system is tailored specifically to each vessel and its specific needs....

Hydraulic system components To ensure a long life and trouble-free operation of your thruster system, choose the compact Side-Power hydraulic system for your hydraulic power needs. A thruster will normally be the most demanding consumer among the hydraulic parts onboard, so it is important that the system be correctly built and sized. A Side-Power hydraulic system is specifically ­ esigned for ultimate flexibility to support ­ d any of the other hydraulic parts on board. It has been designed using the same stringent standards as all other Side-Power parts, ­ocusing on: f • Reliability • Safety...

Hydraulic system components Side-Power hydraulic systems use almost exclusively variable displacement load sense pumps. They offer a high level of reliability, efficiency and flexibility without generating unnecessary ­ noise or the need for huge tanks and oil cooling systems. Powering a thruster system A thruster is almost always the most power demanding part of a hydraulic system. That’s why the hydraulic system must be dimensioned to the thruster(s). Knowing our ­ thrusters better than anybody, we can design the perfect ­ ydraulic system to match. h Advantages with load sense system • Reliable...

Thruster features The 5 blade special skew propellers are the result of over 2 years of development work and thousands of tests. They have been designed to reduce the noise level, while maintaining the exceptional efficiency of the old 4 blade Side-Power propellers. This goal was achieved, and we even chose to make a little bit more aggressive on some models, increasing the thrust on most thrusters. Please see individual information on each new thruster for more details. • Noise reductions of up to 75% measured in controlled environments • The expected and tested normal noise reduction in “average...
