TRANSVERSE THRUSTER YOUR PROPULSION EXPERTS STT · SCHOTTEL TRANSVERSE THRUSTER SCHOTTEL Transverse Thrusters for manoeuvring and dynamic positioning.

INDISPENSABLE FOR MANOEUVRING AND DYNAMIC POSITIONING Transverse thrusters are installed in the bow or stern in order to improve manoeuvrability of the ship. Depending on the type of vessel, the range of application for transverse thrusters extends from brief docking and undocking in ports with a limited number of operating hours every year up to continuous operation under extreme load conditions in demanding offshore applications with dynamic positioning. INDIVIDUALLY TAILORED CONFIGURATION STT with electric motor The transverse thrusters are individually configured by SCHOTTEL project...

STT · Transverse Thruster Prime mover foundation Power input Stiffening ring Here you can find the technical data OPTIMUM DESIGN FOR MORE THRUST Thrust is the decisive criterion of a transverse thruster. SCHOTTEL therefore attaches great importance to an optimum propeller design that is individually adapted to the vessel geometry in each case. At the same time, the propeller design takes into account any special requirements in terms of noise level that are relevant for the application. A major parameter for the effectiveness of a transverse thruster is the size of the gap between the...

MAXIMUM RELIABILITY IN ALL APPLICATIONS SCHOTTEL TRANSVERSE THRUSTERS IN YACHTS SCHOTTEL TRANSVERSE THRUSTERS IN MERCHANT SHIPS Particularly for use in yachts, SCHOTTEL has systematically analysed the causes of noise, focusing on minimizing noise emission during operation of the transverse thruster. In merchant ships, SCHOTTEL Transverse Thrusters are indispensable for short-term manoeuvring in harbours. Here, transverse thrusters with fixed pitch propellers are mainly used. With these systems, too, SCHOTTEL optionally offers electric drive motors. SCHOTTEL has achieved this by using larger...

SCHOTTEL TRANSVERSE THRUSTERS IN THE HIGH POWER RANGE FOR OFFSHORE VESSELS The toughest requirements made on transverse thrusters are found in offshore applications. Here, vessels are exposed to the full force of wind, waves and current. Dynamic positioning under these difficult conditions therefore requires particularly robust and powerful manoeuvring aids. In order to meet the demanding requirements, these systems are equipped with ample reserves. The propeller blade tip speed and propeller load have been reduced to a minimum. This substantially increases the service life of the drive...

RELIABILITY AND HIGHEST QUALITY ARE OUR TOP PRIORITY To ensure the best possible protection of the gearbox housing, the SCHOTTEL Transverse Thruster is sand-blasted and the underwater housing is provided with an abrasion-resistant coating (Ceramic S-Metal). This coating gives extremely high resistance to erosion and cavitation, and offers excellent protection against abrasion and electrolytic corrosion. Stiffening rings around the tunnel and appropriately thick tunnel material minimize distortion during welding into the hull. Preparations for the weld seams at the ends of the tunnel...
