In-Line Bow & Stern Thrusters

Product catalog summary
Overview: Naiad In-Line Thrusters are precision-engineered bow and stern thrusters known for their reliability and environmental safety. They are CNC manufactured and tested under full load conditions, ensuring high performance in demanding applications worldwide.
Environmental Safety: The thrusters feature a fail-safe design with dual seawater shaft seals and a unique drain pressure control assembly to prevent hydraulic oil leakage into the environment.
Hydraulic System: The thrusters come with pre-packaged hydraulic systems that are compact and efficient, featuring a unique internal baffling system. The hydraulic control manifold assemblies are designed to minimize installation labor and potential leak points.
Testing and Performance: Unlike other thrusters, Naiad's units are rigorously tested under full load using a dynamometer test stand. They are available in five sizes and seven power levels, offering high output relative to their tunnel diameter with a highly skewed propeller for maximum thrust and quiet operation.
Specifications: The thrusters are made from AISI 316 stainless steel for superior corrosion resistance. They are available in various models with different dimensions, shaft power, propeller thrust, flow rates, operating pressures, and weights.
Control Systems: Naiad thrusters feature reliable digital controls with single-stage or fully variable configurations. The proportional controls allow for precise output management, and the systems are easily integrated with other shipboard hydraulic systems.
Service and Support: Naiad offers a comprehensive warranty and global support through its sales and service centers and authorized dealer network. Spare parts are readily available, ensuring quick turnaround and customer satisfaction.
Contact Information: Naiad Dynamics has multiple locations in the USA, UK, and Netherlands, providing easy access to sales and support services.

In-Line Bow & Stern Thrusters-1

In‐Line Bow & Stern Thrusters Available in five sizes and seven power levels for bow and stern applications, the Naiad In‐Line Hydraulic Thruster is an extraordinarily compact unit with high output relative to its tunnel diameter. A unique feature of this design is the highly skewed propeller offering maximum thrust and extremely quiet operation. The thruster housing, propeller and shafting are precision manufactured in AISI 316 stainless steel for superior marine corrosion resistance. Precision Reliability Naiad In‐Line Thrusters are CNC manufactured in‐house and each unit is tested under full load on our unique hydraulic dynamometer. More importantly, Naiad In‐Line Thrusters have been field proven in thousands of demanding applications worldwide. Unlike other thrusters which, if tested at all, are simply cycled, our thrusters are rigorously tested under full load on our unique Dynamometer Test Stand. They are cycled in continuously reversing rotation against a propeller shaft load to dynamically test the performance of the bearings, seals and hydraulic motor. Fail-Safe & Environmentally Friendly The pressurized region of the In‐Line Thruster assembly is isolated from the dual seawater shaft seals to eliminate concerns of hydraulic oil leakage into the environment. The seawater shaft seal cavity is protected from oil leakage by a unique drain pressure control assembly which vents any oil leakage to a controlled outboard path. Pre-Packaged Hydraulics Naiad’s high‐efficiency hydraulic reservoir assemblies are engineered to be extraordinarily compact (less space and weight) due to a unique internal baffling system. System interconnections such as hydraulic fluid supply, filtration, and cooling are conveniently located for easy installation and service. Unlike less sophisticated systems, our proven hydraulic control manifold assemblies are designed, manufactured and tested in our own state‐of‐the‐art facility and include all necessary valves for easy installation with less plumbing. Naiad manifolds save installation labor and have significantly fewer hydraulic interconnections and potential leak points.
