Hydraulic & AC Electric THRUSTER SYSTEMS

Innovation & Experience Side-Power thrusters are well known and respected for their superior performance, functionality and reliability. Side-Power has decades of experience in the thruster sector with high volume production focusing on efficiency while maintaining the demands of quality, reliability and safety – advantages of great value in demanding marine markets. We cooperate with leading boat builders and are continuously developing our product range in accordance with the market’s demand for high quality thruster systems. We design our hydraulic systems with the style needed for...

Side-Power thrusters are the choice of the leading boat builders 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 passengers. These features protect against technical and operator faults. • Mechanical protection of drive gear with flex couplers. • Electronic protection against sudden change of drive direction. • Protection against accidental operation incorporated in control panels....

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. And the result is even increased thrust on several models. • Noise reductions of up to 75% measured in controlled environments • The expected and tested normal noise reduction in “average installations” 20-40% Twin Propellers: The twin ropeller system can give more thrust than a single propeller ystem in the same tunnel dia...

System examples Total integration - Maximize comfort and control System Integration • Total system communication allows for easy and quick installation • Can be integrated into other joystick and autopilot control systems to improve performance and accuracy The thrusters in the SH and the SAC range are part of a total vessel control system. All of the Side-Power systems communicate on a shared CAN bus based S-link system. The S-link system enables the best integration possible no matter what the combination of equipment. AC thrusters can be combined with hydraulic stabilizers. An AC bow...

S-link system components Main advantages include: Control panel Control panel S-link is a CAN bus based control system with fully intelligent communication between all units in the system, much like a computer network. • Round, compact and sealed plugs with unique keying and color coding to avoid faulty Wiring of S-link system hookup Power supply Power supply • Unlimited number of commands or information transfer on a single cable • User feedback to panel • Intelligent troubleshooting of thebe one for ”loop” Must backbone each spur, including the power cable Part #: 6 1327 Part #: 6 1326...

Electric or hydraulic? Being a leading manufacturer of hydraulic, AC and DC electric thruster systems, you can trust Side Power to give you objective advice on what to choose for your vessel. Side-Power Hydraulic systems A hydraulic thruster system is the natural choice when extensive thruster usage or long run cycles are required. We design our hydraulic systems with the style needed for pleasure craft and the reliability necessary for commercial use. For many vessels, a hydraulic system makes sound economic sense since several functions can run off one central hydraulic source. Once the...

Side-Power hydraulic thrusters Continuous use A Side-Power hydraulic thruster system is designed for continuous run capability. Controlled power With a Side-Power hydraulic system, you can easily, and without excessive cost get pro or ional control of your p t thruster(s). This will provide much easier and more precise control of the vessel in varying conditions. Stern thruster The added cost for fitting a sternthruster for your vessel is sometimes only a modest er entage of the total p c package if you are already installing a complete hydraulic system. The leading position of Side-Power...

The Boat-Builder’s Choice Through our close cooperation with major boatbuilders we know how important an easy and proper installation is. All our thruster systems are designed to install easily. Design parameters Side-Power is a reliable, long term partner. e have design, manuW facturing, roduct support and p service directly in house, this means that you always get up to date products you can rely on year after year. Technology The most important factor for correct sizing of a thruster as well as designing the hydraulic system to power it, is to have exact and detailed knowledge about the...

Hydraulic system components Cooling and filtration It is important for the lifetime and reliability of a hydraulic system that the oil stays clean and within correct temperatures to avoid excessive wear and damage to any of the components in the system. The Side-Power hydraulic system is designed to achieve this by having: Air filter and strainer in filler cap High pressure filter with service indicator Return filter with service gauge Dual internal oil cooler or tank mounted in-line return cooler and drain cooler. Setup and mounting will vary depending on selected tank unit and system...
