Azimuth Thrusters Home > Products > Azimuth Thrusters Azimuth thrusters are for main propulsion of displacement vessels.  They are available from 75 to 6,000 HP to replace conventional propulsion and rudder steering systems to perform both the propulsion and steering functions.  Azimuth thrusters are used when enhanced maneuverability is required in applications such as dynamic positioning, ship escort and ship docking services. Azimuth thrusters are available in Z-drive configuration for direct diesel engine drive or in L-drive configuration for electric or hydraulic drive. Azimuth Thruster Options Z-Drive for horizontal input (diesel or electric motors) Azimuth Z-drive Thrusters use fixed pitch propellers in open wheel configuration or with nozzles. L-Drive for vertical electric motor input Azimuth L-Drive Thrusters use fixed pitch propellers in open wheel configuration or with nozzle. Azimuth Hydraulic Podded Drive Thruster Podded Hydraulic Azimuth thrusters use fixed pitch propellers in open wheel configuration or with nozzle. Retractable Through-Hull Azimuth Thruster Retractable azimuth thrusters are thru-hull azimuthing thrusters using fixed pitch propellers at variable speed.  Transom-Mounted Azimuth Thruster Transom-mounted azimuth thrusters units are ideal for applications where sufficient freeboard is available. Deck-Mounted Azimuth Thruster Hydraulic Propulsion Units are available from 35 to 2,000 HP either with open propeller or with nozzle.
