    Hydraulic Bow and Stern Thrusters

    Uploaded by

    ginanjar
    This document discusses Vetus hydraulic bow and stern thrusters. It provides specifications for different thruster models with thrust outputs ranging from 55-550 kgf and power outputs from 3.5-33 kW. The thrusters require hydraulic systems with flow rates of 13-91 liters/minute and pressures of 165-280 bar. Installation of hydraulic systems requires training in hydraulics as the connections and components must be properly installed and configured. Vetus can provide complete hydraulic systems or just thrusters, and will review installations to ensure proper functioning.

    HYDRAULIC BOW AND STERN THRUSTERS

    Type BOW..HMD
    These are the thrusters for the most demanding of work situations and are available in power outputs of 55 Kilograms
    Force (Kgf), 95 Kgf, 160 Kgf, 230 Kgf, 310 Kgf, 410 Kgf and 550 Kgf. They operate in hydraulics systems delivering flow rates
    ranging from 13 litres / 3.4 U.S gallons per minute to 91 litres / 24 U.S. gallons per minute, at pressures ranging from 165 bar/
    2393 p.s.i to 280 bar / 4061 p.s.i., all depending on thruster model selected.

    VETUS hydraulic thrusters are able to run continuously, although not as primary propulsion units. They delivery high power
    and great reliability, with no electrical connections at the thruster or pump(s) and they need little routine maintenance.
    These thrusters are available with several control heads, in three control regimens, including proportional control.

    The skill and knowledge set required to plan, integrate and implement a hydraulic installation work is extensive, and
    includes all of the skills required to install electric thrusters and a lot more. Such work should not be undertaken by persons,
    however generally experienced in boat work, who have not received formal training in power hydraulics theory and
    practice. Access to local hydraulic hose and fitting suppliers is also essential for a well-organized and successful installation.

    If an existing hydraulic system can deliver the pressure and flow required by the thruster(s) appropriate for your vessel, it is
    often possible to add VETUS thrusters to the system, but VETUS also offers complete hydraulic systems as described in this
    catalogue section.

    Whether you buy a complete hydraulic system from VETUS, or just the thrusters, a VETUS customer support team member
    will review the entire system with you to ensure that your thrusters work well after installation.
