Rim Driven Thrusters (RDT)
– lowest noise and vibration –
space-saving design
Rim-driven thrusters enable quieter performance than ever
along with space-saving design and flexibility – an advantage
for installation in a narrow skeg or a slender bow.
With no central shaft, water in ow to the propeller is
undisturbed – improving thruster ef ciency.
The electric motor is integrated. Environmental impact and
maintenance costs are minimized because the RDTs have
no gears and bearings that need oil lubrication.
Retractable Azimuth Thrusters can
be lowered in a minute to provide
a new level of manoeuvrability
Brunvoll’s retractable azimuth thrusters increase flexibility
and stability for demanding operations and challenging waters.
• Take-home propulsion capacity (6-9 knots)
• At low speed, the ultimate in precision and reliability
for station keeping, search, surveillance and tracking.
• Of growing interest for a variety of naval applications.
