    PM L-DRIVE

    AZIMUTH THRUSTER
    PERMANENT MAGNET

    KONGSBERG AZIMUTH THRUSTERS

    PM L-drive
    The thruster comprise a compact PM motor and an L-shaped power line.

    As the drive motor is now located on top of the thruster itself, minimum
    service space is required. Motor set is enabling reduced foot print up to 30 %
    in the thruster room.

    PM-L thrusters offer improved efficiency and simplicity compared to


    thrusters with separate electric motors in the thruster room.

    Integrated System Solution


    WORKING POWER • Lower part.
    • Intermediate part – compact and cost efficient design.
    • High efficiency over a
    wide speed range • Steering gear – electric steering motors and main motor flange.
    • PM drive motor – designed to fit thruster range.

    COST EFFICIENCY

    Full motor torque
    As the chart shows, with the PM-L motor it is possible to achieve full motor torque, even with zero (0) rpm.

    Mounting and installation


    Mounting of the device is performed can be performed the following ways:
    • WSS, Welded standard spider.
    • WSC, Welded standard collar.
    • BWC , Bottom well cover (see illustration below).

    Advantages
    • Reduced noise and vibration levels.
    • Optimized for battery solutions and low switching frequencies of frequency converter.
    • Product fulfills highest KM safety requirements and is designed in acc. with latest class society rules for
    Permanent Magnet machines.
    • The propulsion system extremely flexible and efficient for vessels with a multiple operational modes & safe in
    case of single thruster failure.
    • Well proven mechanical technology combined with innovative electrical technology.
    • Increased mechanical & electrical efficiency resulting in lower fuel consumption of the vessel – lower OPEX and
    possible lower CAPEX due to lower total installed power requirement.
    • Full torque at zero rpm with PM motor.
    • Lower Bevel gear ratio allows low propeller tip speed & increased propulsion efficiency.
    • Up to 30% reduced foot print in thruster room.
    • No alignment of flexible coupling between thruster and motor.

    Quality and safety


    As all of our products, the PM-L motor fulfills highest Kongsberg Maritime safety requirements and is designed in
    acc. with latest class society rules for PM machines.

    The PM motor is equipped with a manual activated brake/locking device in acc. to class rules society for wind
    milling and Safe Return to Port (SRtP).

    The brake is to be activated for personnel safety during maintenance or system failure during operation.
