Azimuth thruster CMA50

An open propeller is best when the vessel's speed is above 10 to 13 knots (18 to 24 km/h). The vessel speed determines the optimum propeller diameter. When the vessel speed is rather high, the propeller diameter will be smaller than when the vessel speed is lower. Optimizing performance Current Motion thrusters are designed to be able to use a rather big propeller diameter to have a maximum efficiency when the vessel speed is low. Due to the electric drive and the selection of the gear ratio’s, Current Motion offer the possibility to use the thruster at maximum load also with a smaller propeller, since the drive line is designed in a way that the thruster can be used within the propellers most efficient range, with a smaller or bigger diameter. To have a low sound level Current Motion will use a pulling propeller (tractor) to be able to have a optimum wake field in front of the propeller. This means the propeller can be designed for maximum efficiency without being forced to modify the blade design to deal with a bad wakefield in front of the propeller. Product features 360-Degree rotational capability Azimuth thrusters can rotate 360 degrees, making vessels highly maneuverable for docking and positioning tasks. Compact design Azimuth thrusters are compact and space-efficient, making them ideal for installation on various vessels, including cruise ships, tankers, and transport boats. Despite their small size, they offer powerful propulsion and steering capabilities.
