Boat bow and stern thruster (hydraulic)
Hydrosta
Compactness and sturdiness characterize the Sider while the hydrodynamic shapes of the housing and propellerhub minimises the water resistance to upgrade efficiency.
The concept of counter rotating propellers makes it possible to gain thrust out of a specific tunnel diameter.
The hydraulic thrusters are permitted to operate continuously.
TECHNICAL
Due to the use of lifetime grease for the bearings and gearing set, the Sider requires no maintainance.
A labyrinth between the propellerhub and the housing protects the double shaftseals against fishing lines.
The thruster is to be mounted using only two bolts and will center itself within the tunnel.
The 15, 22, and 35hp types are delivered with a gearmotor, the 45hp and heavier versions a piston motor is included.
MATERIALS
The Siders are fabricated out of specific materials that suit best for an aggressive seawater environment. Still for protection anodes must be mounted.
The housing and propellers are casted out of “zincfree” aluminiumbronze* and do not need coating or painting.
The all thrusters are also available with a aluminum housing and stainless steel propellers. These aluminum thrusters needs to be coated.
