Rolls Royce Azimuth Thruster ❲2026❳
Rolls-Royce thrusters offer several key advantages over conventional propeller-and-rudder systems:
Houses the propeller, nozzle (if used), and bevel gears. Steering Gear: Enables the 360-degree rotation. rolls royce azimuth thruster
Streamlined leg designs, especially on the Azipull, recover swirl energy from the propeller, enhancing overall thrust. | Series | Type | Power Range (kW)
| Series | Type | Power Range (kW) | Typical Vessels | |--------|------|----------------|------------------| | | Tug thruster (pushing type) | 500 – 5,000 | Harbor tugs, escort tugs | | Mermaid | Large azimuth thruster | 1,500 – 15,000+ | PSVs, AHTS, Ro-Ro ferries, cruise ships | | Azipull | Pulling-type (forward-facing prop) | 800 – 5,500 | Ferries, offshore wind vessels, cargo ships | | ULS | Ultra-Low Shaft line | 500 – 4,000 | Small to medium workboats | This creates a significantly lighter unit (approx

This creates a significantly lighter unit (approx. 2,800 kg) for high-speed yachts where weight distribution is critical. Autocrossing System: An "add-on" software feature that automatically optimizes the ferry crossing process. It manages propeller pitch and rotational speed to keep the vessel on a chosen track while minimizing energy consumption. Twin/Dual Input Hybrid Options: Allows a single thruster to take power from both a main diesel engine and an auxiliary electric motor simultaneously, providing extreme flexibility for tugboats and workboats.
