OMS Vertical Retracting Rotating Thruster Electric
Our vertical 360° rotating thrusters benefit 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. This type of thruster has a very small footprint so is ideally suited to installation in aft or fore lockers where space is at a premium. The vertical rotating thruster is also very useful where vessels have a deep V profile so the thruster is fitted higher providing a longer deployment stroke to clear the hull. They can also be fitted further forward or aft than a conventional tunnel thrusters increasing the turning moment of the hull and therefore requiring less power input. This type of thruster uses a vertical lead screw and guide rods to raise and lower the unit via a motor. As with the swing thruster, all motors and hoses are concealed within the vessel so are not in direct contact with sea water. OMS has worked with a number of boat builders to optimise the range offered. The rotate mechanism allows you to position the pod and provide 360 degrees of thrust. The OMS rotating thruster has also been installed and used as emergency propulsion.Upload Image...
