Ship propulsion system

Application:
Ship Propulsion System

Product:
Rotary Potentiometer IP6501
Special ships, tugboats, cable laying ships, and ferries are equipped with rudder-propeller drivers in order to improve maneuverability.

Function:
These rudder-propeller drives rotate a full 360° so that a thrust can occur in any direction. In a multi-drive system, a satellite navigation system and a computer can be used to achieve a synchronized and independent regulation, which can exactly postion the ship even in heavy seas.

Rudder feedback on Autonomos Underwater Vehicle (AUV)

Application:
Rudder feedback on Autonomos Underwater Vehicle (AUV)

Product:
Transducer T 50
T 50 is located inside an oil filled cylinder. This for pressure compensation and to have the sensor to work in a good environment. The AUV operates down to 3.000 meter of water.

The linear sensor is directly connected to the Inertial navigation system of the AUV.
