Thruster for marine applications

Motors for extendable thrusters and tunnel thrusters

Thrusters are used on many types of ships. These positioning devices have become an indispensable part of large ships. Especially for special and work vessels (wind farms, oil and gas platforms), the output of these drives can be up to 5 megawatts. The machines can be operated via a frequency converter or directly on the mains (DOL) in operating mode S1 or S2.

Possible interpretations

  • Permanently excited synchronous motors
  • Asynchronous motors

Specifications

  • Low voltage or medium voltage

  • Up to 5,000 kW

 

Medium-speed generators

VEM medium-speed generators are designed with a welded housing, as full-pole or salient-pole machines and brushless excitation or permanently excited synchronous machines.

The machines are equipped with digital controllers and associated monitoring according to customer requirements. In addition to rolling bearings for smaller capacities, flange-mounted plain bearings are mainly used. For generators with high outputs, the bearings are also delivered as pillow block bearings with the complex oil supply systems required for this.

Possible interpretations

  • Permanently excited synchronous generators
  • Electrically excited synchronous generators

Specifications

  • Low voltage and medium voltage
  • Up to 30,000 kVA
  • Up to 750 min-1
 

Generators on the transmission (High Speed, PTO / PTI / PTH):

The new series of extremely compact, water-jacket-cooled, high-speed shaft generators is characterized by its low weight and highest levels of efficiency.

Possible interpretations

  • Permanently excited synchronous generators
  • Electrically excited synchronous generators

Specifications

  • Low voltage and medium voltage
  • Up to 30,000 kVA
  • Up to 750 min-1
