OMS Swing Thruster
Electric
The OMS swing thruster benefits from the same in-hub technology as the fixed tunnel thruster, whilst allowing the thruster to fully retract leaving a fair hull with minimal drag. These types of thrusters are usually used in applications where they are positioned within the accommodation area of a vessel. The low profile and compact design allows them to be easily fitted below floor bearers or in low level lockers, under beds or among other locations.
This compact design uses a lead screw lift assembly with a reduction gear box to ensure that the thruster hub, when retracted is held firmly in place and cannot move. In addition, OMS swing thrusters feature a locking pin which adds additional security when locking the leg in the raised position. The main drive motor and hydraulic hoses or cables are fully enclosed within the upper leg assembly so are not open to sea water. OMS has worked with a number of boat builders to optimise the range offered.
