Podded Hydraulic Azimuth thrusters are fixed pitch propellers in open wheel configuration or with nozzles.  They may be optimized for vessel speed or for maximum bollard thrust.  L-Drives are available for vertical electric motor input from 250 to 3,000 HP.

Azimuth Hydraulic Podded Drives

Hydraulic L-Drive thrusters are thru-hull azimuth thrusters using Thrustmaster's exclusive hydraulic podded propeller drives.  They are available in a range from 75 to 2,000 HP with either open propeller or with nozzle.  The hydraulic power system is normally supplied by Thrustmaster and may be configured for our hydraulic pump driven by a customer furnished diesel engine, which may be placed at any convenient location in the vessel.  Hydraulic piping or hoses connect between the hydraulic pump and the thruster.

The hydraulic drive provides fully proportional propeller speed control and is very forgiving when hitting obstacles in brown water applications.  For more information, request our CD-ROM movie on brown water applications.  For dimensional drawings, request our AutoCAD drawing CD-ROM.

Notice, all drawings are typical only, and can be adjusted to
meet your application needs. We can vary the propeller size and leg length to best meet the vessel configuration, user preference or speed versus thrust requirements.
