Application of Electromechanical Servo Drive for Control Ship Vendor Propulsor

Abstract

For such vessels as ferries, tugs, minesweepers, special vessels designed to perform work on the sea shelf, an important indicator is high maneuverability. A unique opportunity to achieve high maneuverability of the vessel is provided by the use of a winged propeller. It essentially performs the functions of a rudder propeller complex, since it combines the advantages of a variable pitch propeller and an active rudder. A vessel equipped with winged propellers can smoothly change speed and direction of movement, turn on the spot, move sideways (i.e., sideways). However, the widespread use of this type of propeller is constrained by the complexity and high cost of both the propeller itself and the hydraulic system used for remote control. The article discusses a method for simplifying the design and manufacture of a winged propeller control system through the use and adaptation of design modules included in the remote control system of the main marine diesel engine.
