Voith Schneider Propeller Types and Dimensions Choosing the correct Voith Schneider Propeller is not only a question of hydrodynamic criteria. In each i ­ndividual case, the mechanical loads on major systems components, such as blades and gear units, as well as kinematics due to the re­ uired propeller thrust and the q torque to be transmitted, have to be determined and ­ checked. For this reason, we reserve the right to specify which propeller type should be used.

Year built gear steps blade length in cm propeller type blade orbit diameter in dm blade length in cm number of blades gear steps propeller type blade orbit diameter in dm Our current production program contains different types: Type R4 EC, R5, R5 EC(R+S), R6 EC(R)

The table features the most important dimensions, weights and mo­ ents of inertia referring to the vertical axis of rotation m and the oil filling of the propellers in our current production program. Propeller type/size For a preliminary size determination in the initial project stage, a propeller se­ lection according to the max. pro­ eller input ­ p power as per the table above is possible. This table also ­ tates s the permissible input speed ranges. A = blade orbit diameter B = blade length (standard) C = number of blades D = height (input shaft) E = pinion offset F = length (input shaft)...

The propeller well must form an integral part of the bottom structure of the vessel so that, in addition to the propeller weight, the forces and moments resulting from the propeller thrust can also be transmitted without stress concentrations in the ship’s hull. It has to be taken into account that the propeller thrust can vary by...
