Pod Propulsion More Than Just A Propeller - MarineLink
WEB6 days ago — Podded drives are complete propulsion and steering units suspended below the ship, in place of conventional rudders or propellers. The pod contains an electric motor, the drive end of which is ...
POD 4600 - Pod Propulsion - ZF
WEBThe POD 4600 system offers integrated propulsion and steering systems for large vessels of all types. It ensures unprecedented propulsion efficiency, easy maneuverability, more onboard available space and top comfort and reliability, no matter what application.
Azimuth thruster - Wikipedia
WEBAn azimuth thruster is a configuration of marine propellers placed in pods that can be rotated to any horizontal angle , making a rudder redundant. These give ships better maneuverability than a fixed propeller and rudder system.
A New Propeller Design Method for the POD Propulsion System
WEBThe object of this paper is to develop a new propeller design method that can design propellers used on a POD propulsion system. The researches in marine propeller designs are mainly in two topics, one is to find the blade geometry 1 that produces the desired loading, and the other one is to find a new sectional geometry that can reduce the ...

WEBAzipod is the electrically driven propulsor with an AC motor incorporated in a streamlined azimuthing pod unit directly driving a fixed-pitch propeller. The motor is controlled by a frequency converter, which produces...
Podded Propulsor - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics
WEBThe podded propulsor as shown in Fig. 10 a is a steerable propulsion unit comprising a propulsion motor fitted inside a submerged pod. The pod unit can be rotated to any horizontal angles and thus offering the vessel large turning force in any directions without the use of rudder.
