THE NEW GENERATION OF LARGE SRPs/STPs SCHOTTEL AZIMUTH THRUSTERS YOUR PROPULSION EXPERTS

The SCHOTTEL Rudderpropeller is the classic product from the SCHOTTEL range. Since its origin more than 60 years ago, the SRP has been continuously improved and adapted to the needs of our customers. Now a new thruster generation has been released, hydrodynamically optimized using CFD techniques as well as model tests. The latest findings in azimuth thruster technology have been implemented, resulting in a state-of-the-art product. Both types are available with a variety of reduction ratios to suit all common input speeds regardless of whether they are driven by a diesel engine or an...

SRP · Rudderpropeller STP · Twin Propeller OFFSHORE The new thruster generation is ideal for any kind of offshore operation. Robustness, compactness, eco-friendliness and ease of maintenance are a prerequisite for ships working in the harsh offshore environment. All thrusters are prepared for integration of the SCHOTTEL Condition Monitoring System S-COM which allows foresighted maintenance planning. TUGS Tug operation profiles are becoming more and more demanding and require high power on a space-restricted platform. With its improved hydrodynamic and compact design, the new thruster series...

HYDRAULIC CLUTCH The new thruster generation comes with an independent, hydraulically operated multi-disc clutch, which not only engages and disengages the drive train from the thruster but also drives the hydraulic units of the thruster, making it practically selfcontained. To improve the ease of maintenance and simplify the system as much as possible, the clutch is installed separately outside the gearbox and uses the same type of oil for operation and cooling as is used for lubrication of the thruster. No additional auxiliary units are needed to operate the clutch. Hydraulic clutch with...

SRP · Rudderpropeller STP · Twin Propeller HYDRAULIC MULTI-DISC BRAKE In addition to the hydraulically operated clutch, the new thruster generation comes with a hydraulically operated multidisc holding brake, which is used to block the propeller from turning during service and maintenance work. The brake basically follows the same principle as the hydraulic clutch except that it has a fixed outer part fitted to the gearbox housing. Multi-disc hydraulic brake Like the clutch, the brake is a separate system outside the upper gearbox and is fully self-contained, requiring no mechanical...

LATEST DEVELOPMENTS SLIPPING CLUTCH SCHOTTEL offers a new hydraulic slipping clutch, which can be mounted on the upper gearbox instead of the standard clutch. To sustain the ease of maintenance, the clutch comes in a separate housing which provides a power take-off for driving the hydraulic steering equipment. Thus the complete thruster is as self-contained as with the standard clutch, but needs only a minimum of mechanical and electrical interfaces. In addition to the engaging and disengaging function of a standard clutch, the slipping clutch offers the possibility of controlling the...

SRP ■ Rudderpropeller STP ■ Twin Propeller STATE OF THE ART STEERING AND CONTROL With the SCHOTTEL Operation Diagnosis System S-ODS the crew can retrieve all relevant system data for further diagnosis or analysis. Thanks to the intuitive user interface, these data can be quickly and easily sent to the SCHOTTEL Service Team or to Fleet Management. This analytical tool makes the on-board assignment of a service technician unnecessary. Deviations from the optimum operating condition (e.g. fuel or energy consumption) can be identified and corrected by on-board personnel and settings can be...
