Shock Quali cation of
Thruster Systems
Elastic deformation, resilient mounting and rubber isolation
provide shock absorption in compliance with naval
speci cations. Mechanical reinforcement and
the choice of materials are key factors in the design.
Brunvoll has a wealth of experience in developing
shock-qualified solutions for
• Retractable azimuth thrusters
• Tunnel thrusters
• Combined retractable azimuth and tunnel thrusters
Advanced FEM analysis minimizes
weight, materials and costs
For improved design and virtual prototyping, the nite
element method provides advanced visualization of stiffness,
strength, distribution of stresses and displacement.
But no matter how good the solution looks on the drawing
board, it has to function under harsh real-life conditions at
sea. Here, Brunvoll’s vast portfolio of experience makes all
the difference – when it counts most.
