TCB-type series side thrusters incorporate controllable pitch propellers. An engine, electric motor or hydraulic motor may be used with them as a drive mechanism. They require no propeller reverse mechanism and therefore allow quick conversion in thrust direction and easy adjustment for thrust level.
An easily operable and compact control system, KTC100 enables ship control beginning with start-up on a single control panel. A ship can be optimally controlled by operating a single dial.
TCB Type - Features
High durability
Tough and rational structural design based on a tank test achieves superior strength and durability. Easy fitting
Thick-plate duct without ribs results in a structure that allows the side thruster to be fitted by welding it to any part of the exterior surface of the duct. Decreased noise and vibration
Use of a thick duct and development of new form of propellers achieves a lower level of noise and vibration to provide a high level of ship comfort. Rational maintenance
Sealing system without the need to disassemble the shaft makes inspection easier and streamlines maintenance work. Easy control system
Side thruster standard with KTC100 – KAMOME’s original easy-to-use control system providing great operability
TFA- Type
KAMOME TFA-series side thrusters incorporate fixed pitch propellers. Their simple and robust structure supports a very high level of durability and easy maintainability. An engine, electric motor or hydraulic motor may be used with them as a drive mechanism. A user-friendly control system enables ship control beginning with start-up on a single control panel, so the ship can be easily controlled by button operation.
TFA Type - Features
High performance and great durability
Robust and easy-to-handle since their release in 1960, high durability has been achieved. Low level of vibration and noise
Fine design considerations given to duct structure and thickness in order to reduce vibration and noise in living space when thruster is in operation. Easy to install and maintain
Thrusters have a structure without duct ribs to ensure they can be fitted by welding to any part of the exterior surface of the duct. Only the seal in the rotating part needs regular replacement, which reduces the hassles of maintenance. Wide variety of drive systems
Compatible with electric motors, engines and hydraulic motors, thrusters can be used in a wide variety of configurations.
