ACTUATOR FOR A RUDDER PROPELLER, IN PARTICULAR AN ELECTRICALLY DRIVEN PROPELLER OF A SEA-GOING VESSEL

摘要

An actuator is for a rudder propeller, in particular an electrically driven propeller of a sea-going vessel. The propeller is located on a rotative shaft in the stern region beneath the bottom of the vessel. The shaft can be rotated using at least two electric servomotors, which act by way of pinions on a rim gear that is connected to the upper part of the shaft. They preferably act by way of a gear that is located inside the upper part of the shaft and are configured to be controllable and adjustable in the group.
