Rugged and maintenance free
The performance figures of the latest super-post-Panamax ships are impressive: an output of up to 110,000 horsepower and a propeller 10 meters in diameter.
To bridge the distances, intermediate axles in the ship's hull are used to transmit power while at the same time compensate for very high shaft misalignments. Manufacturers depend on the reliability of R+W safety couplings for their azimuth thrusters.
