48-inch Commercial Thruster

Product catalog summary

Introduction
WESMAR offers robust bow and stern thrusters designed for commercial vessels, providing high power, reliability, and durability. These thrusters are suitable for demanding marine environments and are available in a range of horsepower from 150 to 499, delivering up to 11,500 lbs of thrust.

Specifications
The thrusters feature counter-rotating dual propellers, which enhance efficiency by splitting power between two gear sets. This design allows the aft propeller to recover swirl energy from the forward propeller, resulting in greater thrust. The thrusters are available in various sizes, with propellers made from NiBrAl or stainless steel.

Technical Features

Available in hydraulic, AC, and direct drive options.
Compatible with DP1 or DP2 requirements.
Pre-mounted in customer-selected steel or aluminum tubes.
Dynamic Power Control for easy maneuvering.
Proportional on/off controls available.
Gear reduction options of 3:1 or 2:1.
High-quality AGMA9 spiral beveled gears for extended service life.
Anti-friction spherical roller or tapered roller bearings immersed in lubricating oil.

Advantages
WESMAR thrusters provide up to 40% more thrust than single propeller thrusters with the same input power, reducing fuel consumption. The smaller tunnel diameters also contribute to reduced drag and fuel savings. The stainless steel construction ensures maximum durability and reliability.

Warranty and Liability
WESMAR offers a commercial warranty and consumer limited warranty covering title, materials, and workmanship. The warranty period is 90 days post-installation or one year after shipment, whichever is shorter. Liability is limited to the purchase price of the equipment, excluding incidental or consequential damages.

Applications
WESMAR thrusters are used globally in various vessels, including bulk carriers, cargo vessels, cruise ships, military vessels, and more, demonstrating their versatility and reliability in challenging environments.
