The
Steerprop housing is made solely of fabricated steel
to ensure the quality
|
All Fabricated Steel Construction
The Steerprop Propulsor housing is made of fabricated
steel. Utilising the properties of the steel it enables
a precise strength control as well as a constant quality.
Furthermore it allows for fast delivery times and size
flexibility. Fabricated steel is also easy to repair
and maintain, in case of an accident to the unit. |

Sequential
Strength Principle
The Steerprop propulsors are constructed with an in-built
security in both the housing and the power train.
This comprises a sequential strength principle, where
the weakest parts are either cheap or easily replaced
- important in case of an accident.

Compact
Size
The Steerprop propulsors have been designed to be
as compact as possible to enable low main decks
with little space beneath to be applied also on
vessels with azimuth propulsion.

Compared to the competitors Steerprop offers the most
compact
and least height requiring propulsors |
Number of Parts Minimized
The
Steerprop R&D engineers have succeeded to minimize
the amount of parts in the construction of Steerprop
propulsors. This simplified and more reliable construction
leads to easier maintenance and less spare parts.
|
Minimum Number of Proprietary Parts
One
of the corner stones in the construction of Steerprop
azimuth propulsors is to use commercially readily
available parts in the assembly to a maximum extent.
The number of proprietary parts is kept as small
as possible. Using standard parts of well-known
manufacturers, reliability is improved and spare
parts are available anywhere to facilitate maintenance
and possible repair.

In-built
Multi-Disc Clutch
Steerpop
propulsor units comprise a hydraulically operated in-built
multi-disc release clutch as the basic option. Using
the Steerprop control system the clutch is also optionally
available with speed modulation from 0 to idle engine
speed. |
The in-built multi-disc release clutch is also avaliable
with speed modulation |

Direct
Electric Steering Option
Apart from the common mechanically driven hydraulic
steering system a modern frequency converter controlled
direct electric steering motor is offered as an option.
The advantages of the electric vs. hydraulic is constant
steering speed, less power required, better efficiency,
less heat generation (cooling demand / ventilation),
less piping required, less space required, cleaner,
less maintenance and less noise. |
