3. SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
This section provides detailed information about the system to ensure safe and efficient operations.
Refer to Chapter 12 for the project specific assembly drawings from Rolls-Royce Marine.
3.1 System Overview

The Azipull Thruster is a low drag, high efficient pulling thruster. It combines the advantage of the
pulling propeller with the flexibility of using any type of drive to suit the customer’s specific
requirement.
The Azipull Thruster is designed for continuous service speed up to 24 knots, whilst maintaining
excellent maneuverability as no rudder is required.
Both controllable pitch (CP) and fixed pitch (FP) propellers can be specified. The FP type can
optionally be mono block or bolted blades on the CP hub. The latter is fixed adjustable where pitch
changes can be made with a tool fitted in the front of the hub.
The Azipull Thruster propulsion system consists of three main parts:
Mechanical parts for power transformation of both steering and propeller rotation.
Hydraulic parts for lubrication and hydraulic control of the equipment.
Electric parts for control of drive motors, steering motors and hydraulic pumps.
3.2 Design
The design of the Azipull is based on long experience with

azimuth thrusters used as main propulsion.
The pulling propeller design is based on a steady (homogenous
and undisturbed) inflow to the propeller disc combined with a long
and slender body (and fin) which enables to:
Straighten the slipstream to give a low drag.
Improve course stability leading to higher system efficiency.
Reduce vibration and noise levels.
The streamlined thruster body and fin recover the flow energy in
the slipstream, which contributes to a high propulsive efficiency
as well as improved course stability of the vessel (high rudder
efficiency).

3.2.1 Top bevel gear
The top bevel gear [1] is integrated in the steering gear

upper body. A horizontal input shaft with coupling flange
[2] is connected to the intermediate shaft/prime mover.
3.2.2 Intermediate part (hull fitting)
The part between the thruster[3] and the steering

gear[1] is called the intermediate part[2]. This part is
tailored to the ships structure (hull lines).
There are two types of hull connections, so called

“weld-in” type and "bolt-in" type.
3.2.3 Thruster unit

The thruster unit[3] is equipped with a four or five
blade propeller. The propeller is driven via a bevel
gear in the gear casing, connecting to a vertical shaft
extending into the ship’s hull.
A shaft seal prevents water penetration and oil

leakage.
There are two alternative propeller configurations:
Controllable pitch (CP): Direction of thrust is

regulated by the propeller pitch.
Fixed pitch (FP): Direction of thrust is regulated

by the steering angle.

3.2.4 Intermediate shaft
The intermediate shaft transfers power from the prime mover to the top bevel gear. The
intermediate shaft is fixed to the horizontal input shaft of the top bevel gear via a flexible element
and a coupling flange.
On some installations, the Azipull thruster have a long immediate shaft. It is then supported by
roller bearings in order to minimize horizontal and vertical movement.
3.2.5 Lubrication unit
The lubrication unit consists of 2 pumps for lubrication and

cooling of the thruster unit and the top bevel gear. One pump runs
as master, while the other as slave. The slave and master pumps
should at some time be alternated to even out the wear.
The thruster and steering gear serve as the oil reservoir for the
system. Duplex oil filters are mounted between the pump, the top
bevel gear and the steering gears to protect against
contamination. A CJC by-pass filter is also mounted on the
lubrication unit, to filtrate solid particles and water.
3.2.6 Pitch control unit (CP only)
The pitch control unit regulates the hydraulic pressure which

controls the propeller pitch. The unit consists of 2 pumps vertically
mounted on the module, driven by electric motors.
The pitch control unit is normally operated remotely by the control
system (Pitch request), but may also be run locally (see chapter
6).
Oil filters are mounted on the module and are equipped with
indicators that provides a warning when the elements need to be
replaced. The filters are also provided with a by-pass valve, in
case of extreme clogging, or a cold start.
The pitch control unit is equipped with the following sensors:
low pitch operating pressure
oil filter clogged (pump 1 and 2)

3.2.7 Gravity tank
The gravity oil tank must be installed according to specifications

by Rolls-Royce Marine.
The gravity tank may also be delivered as a pressurized gravity

tank. It is then possible to pressurize the tank with air to
compensate for a lower placement in the ship.
The tank is equipped with a level switch for "low level alarm" on
the top. The switch can easily be dismantled at testing.
3.2.8 Steering gear and electric steering gear control unit (ESU)
The steering gear consists of two electric motors bolted to the

upper gear foundation. Azimuth rotation is transformed via
planetary gears to a large slewing ring on top of the steering
column in the intermediate part.
The electric turning gear consists of two inverters [1] / [2] and two
equal separate drives, which are controlled by the control system.
In normal conditions, the turning is always done by the two drives;

master drive and slave drive [3] / [4].
When the slave drive is not able to turn, the master drive can
operate alone.
When master drive fails, the control system changes the

slave drive automatically to master and the other inverter to
slave.
The ESU consists of one or two frequency converter(s) per

Azipull along with their auxiliaries and brake resistors.
The ESU is controlled from the control system and the local
panel. The ESU controls the asynchronous steering motor(s) and
forwards the braking energy into brake resistors.
Frequency converter control panel [1] is of the Vacon NXP type

whereas the option board is of type 202OPT. The control panel of
the NXP drive features an alphanumeric display.

00.02 DESIGN AND OPERATION FEATURES
The AZIPULL transmission drive train is based on long experience with azimuth thrusters. The
pulling propeller concept ensures a homogeneous inflow to the blades influenced only by the hull
boundary layer. A clean inflow to the propeller is a crucial factor in obtaining low propeller
induced noise/vibrations as well as high efficiency.
The streamlined thrusterbody and fin recover the flow energy in the slipstream which contributes
to a high propulsive efficiency as well as improved course stability of the vessel (high rudder
efficiency).
Both Controllable Pitch (CP) and Fixed Pitch (FP) propellers can be specified. The FP type can
optionally be monobloc or bolted blades on the CP hub. The latter is fixed adjustable where pitch
changes can be made with a tool fitted in the front of the hub.
The AZIPULL® propulsion system enhances harbour manoeuvrability without losing the
advantages of conventional shafted propulsion systems and rudders with regard to course
stability and system efficiency.
Interference drag with the hull and propulsor-hull interaction losses should be reduced as much
as possible to maximise the overall propulsion efficiency. The guidelines for headbox shape and
thruster inclination should therefore be carefully considered (see Figure 2).
Figure 1: Guidelines for obtaining a sucsessfull integration of AZIPULL to the hull.

AZIPULL® has two modes of operation, Manoeuvring and Transit mode. One criterion for the
operation in the two modes is the vessel speed. The AZIPULL® control system reads the ship log
(or GPS) to check whether the appropriate mode of operation is activated.
With variable revs CP propellers, power and thrust regulation is performed by combined pitch/rpm
controls (combinators). The two modes have separate combinator programs. Transit
combinators are optimised for highest possible efficiency (considering also engine specific fuel
consumption characteristics) whereas Manoeuvring mode combinators normally are designed to
give priority to thrust response.
Some furher details of these modes and their limitations are described on the following page.
Transit mode
This mode can be used over the entire speed range of the
ship with the azimuth angle limited to ± 35 degrees (as
conventional rudders).
Figure 2: Limited azimuth rotation
Manoeuvring mode
This mode is to be applied for speeds below 10

knots where free rotation is allowed in the 0-360
degree azimuth circle.
Figure 3: Non restricted azimuth rotation

Thrust reduction sectors
In the transverse azimuth sector where the slipstream of the two AZIPULL units can interfere with
each other, the control system will limit power and thrust. This limitation is imposed because this
adverse interaction reduces the useful available thrust vector and increases vibrations and stress
levels.
Figure 4 indicate the azimuth sector ±40 degrees out of the abeam direction where this power/
thrust limitation will apply. More details on thrust limitations and azimuth sectors are found in
APPENDIX 1.

streamlined rope guard is fitted. The rope guard is fitted with a brush towards the shaft coupling
to earth the propeller shaft to the gear housing.
The rope guard is bolted to the lower gear housing and has a very small clearance towards the
propeller. This to reduce the risk of net winding up and enter the shaft seal.
In addition, rope-cutting knives are welded to the rope guard to cut fishing lines and rope and
thereby further reduce the chance of damaging the shaft seal. The knives are arranged to
minimize the disturbance of the waterflow from the propeller.
1 pc. SHAFT COUPLING

The hub is bolted to the propeller shaft coupling by stainless steel bolts. The bolts are
mechanically locked by a stainless steel ring (with combined function as net pick-up) welded to
the bolts. The coupling itself is fitted to the propeller shaft by conical shrink fit connection.

02 APPENDIX 1
To reduce the adverse effects of interaction between the slipstream from azimuth thrusters that
operate in the vicinity of each other, power and thrust will be automatically reduced in sectors
were the slipstream can interfere with the neighbouring thruster. This adverse interaction reduces
the useful available thrust vector and increases vibrations and stress levels.
The propeller control will therefore impose a limit on pitch and rpm within an azimuth sector of
±40 degrees out of the abeam direction as shown in Figure 1a.
Figure 1a
When either of the two azimuth thrusters

operates within these sectors, the combined AZIPULL type (size) Max thrust kN
pitch and rpm setting will limit the thrust to the AZP085 50
figures presented in the table to the right:
AZP100 70
For fixed pitch systems having unidirectional
AZP120 100
propeller rotation, the same thrust limitation
will prevail by putting a limit on maximum AZP150 160
shaft revolution speed in these azimuth
sectors.

For controllable pitch propellers, the thrust limit applies also to astern pitch. The corresponding
azimuth sectors leading to slipstream interference in astern pitch mode are indicated in Figure 1b.

6. OPERATION
Warning
In the event of a malfunction during operation of the Rolls-Royce Azipull

Thruster, investigate and correct the malfunction immediately. Operating a
vessel with a malfunction in the control system or in the hydraulic system
may cause personnel injury and equipment damage.
Before starting the propeller unit, inform the yard representative that the
propeller will run so he can perform the required safety measures.
Caution!
Before operating the equipment, please refer to Chapter 2 for the General Statement, Safety
and Warnings instructions.
Always make sure nobody is working with the equipment before operating it.
Check that the maintenance instructions (Chapter 7) are followed.
6.1 Before start

1. Ensure that power is available.
2. Start the hydraulic pumps.
3. Check that there are no alarms.
The pitch will automatically go to zero (CP only).
6.2 Start
1. Start the drive motor.
2. Check that the drive motor has started. The lamp indicates that the drive motor running and
that the Rolls-Royce Azipull Thruster is now ready for use.
6.3 Normal operation

Remote control with the ship’s automation system is possible only when the local / remote switch
on the starter is on the remote position.
If the lubrication pump is running when a black-out takes place, the pump will restart automatically
when the main power returns. A timing relay controls the delay of the restart. Delay time settings
have to match with the ship’s starting sequence system.

6.3.1 Function
The Rolls-Royce Azipull propulsion system is a 360º rotatable azimuth thrusters with either CP or
FP pulling propellers. With a Rolls-Royce Azipull propulsion system, the ship will be able to
increase harbour maneuverability without loosing the advantages of a conventional propulsion
system with regard to course stability and system efficiency.
Normally, vessels equipped with Rolls-Royce Azipull Thrusters have two modes of operation,
harbour (maneuver) mode and transit mode. Harbour mode will have no restrictions of the 360º
thruster rotation, however it can only be used at a vessel speed below ten (10) knots.
Transit mode will limit the steering angles to be between +/- 35º (as conventional rudders). The
remote control system will use the ship log (or GPS) to check if the harbour or the transit mode can
be activated depending on the logged conditions.
Transit mode
This mode can be used over the entire speed

range of the ship with the azimuth angle limited
to ± 35 º (as conventional rudders).
Figure 1: Limited azimuth rotation
Harbour mode
This mode is to be applied for speeds below 10

knots where free rotation is allowed in the 0-
360º azimuth circle.

Figure 2: Non restricted azimuth rotation
Figure 3 Azimuth sectors where the slipstream can interfere with the neighbouring thruster.
In the transverse azimuth sector where the slipstream of the two thruster units can interfere with
each other, the control system will limit the power and thrust. This limitation is imposed to avoid an
adverse interaction that reduces the useful available thrust vector and increases the vibrations and
stress levels.
Figure 4 indicates the azimuth sector 40º out of the abeam direction where the power / thrust
limitation will be applied.
To reduce the adverse effects of the interaction between the slipstreams from thrusters that
operate near each other, the power and thrust are automatically reduced in sectors where the
slipstream may interfere with the neighbouring thruster.
This adverse interaction reduces the useful available thrust vector and increases the vibrations and
stress levels.
The propeller control will therefore impose a limit on the pitch and rpm within an azimuth sector of
±40º out of the abeam direction as shown below.
When either of the two azimuth thrusters operates within these sectors, the combined pitch and
rpm setting limit the thrust to the figures presented in the table below:
For fixed pitch systems having unidirectional propeller rotation, the same thrust limitation will prevail
by putting a limit on maximum shaft revolution speed in these azimuth sectors.
AZIPULL type (size) Max thrust (kN)

AZP085 50
AZP100 70
AZP120 100
AZP150 160

For controllable pitch propellers, the thrust limit applies also to astern pitch. The corresponding
azimuth sectors leading to slipstream interference in astern pitch mode are indicated in the figure
below.
Figure 4 Azimuth sectors leading to slipstream interference in astern pitch mode.

7. MAINTENANCE
This chapter describes all relevant maintenance procedures and activities to be carried out by the
ship’s crew.
Warning
Never work alone when installing heavy components, even when using
secure lifting equipment such as lockable block and tackle. Most lifting
devices require two people, one to oversee to the lifting device and the
other to ensure that the components do not get caught and damaged.
Always wear protective goggles if there is a risk of splinters, grinding

sparks and splashes from acid or other chemicals. Eyes are extremely
sensitive and an injury to them can result in loss of sight.
Using hydraulic oil other than the one specified in this manual may cause
malfunctions when manoeuvring the vessel. This may cause personal
injury and equipment damage.
Caution!
Most chemicals intended for the product (engine and gearbox oils, glycol,
gasoline and diesel), or the workshop (degreasing agent, paints and solvents)
are harmful to your health. Read the instructions on packaging carefully! Always
follow protective measures such as using a protective mask, goggles, gloves etc.
Ensure that other personnel are not unknowingly exposed to harmful substances
in the air that they breathe; ensure adequate ventilation. Dispose used and
excess chemicals according to instructions.
Ensure that the warning or information decals on the product are always visible.
Replace decals that are damaged or painted over.
Take care of the hydraulic oil when replacing parts in the hydraulic system. Any
oil spillage, even a small one, will cause environmental damage. Used filter
elements and worn out hydraulic oil should be disposed safely.
If hydraulic oil disappears from the system and there is a risk that this oil is
polluting the seawater, the system must be immediately shut down and
inspected.
Note!
Use spare parts produced by Rolls-Royce Marine, or by a manufacturer
approved or licensed by them. Use of other than approved spare parts will void
the warranty and may result in system failure or reduced lifetime.

[6].
8. Insert the new pump, and fasten the nuts [5] and the bolts [6].
9. Refit the pump connector [4]. To achieve this, it needs to be

heated before mounting, as it is connected with a slight shrink
fit.
10. Refit the flexible element [3], if loose.
11. Lower the electric motor [2] back in place, and fasten the
bolts [1].

7.10 Docking procedures
Warning
Do not start the prime mover when in dry dock! Running the unit out of water will
. damage the propeller shaft sealing.
Note!
Any dismantling of the unit should be carried out in the presence of a representative from Rolls-
Royce Marine.
Before docking, the unit is to be carefully inspected with respect to noise, vibrations and leaks (ref.
Routine maintenance). Oil samples should be taken and analyzed (ref. procedure for oil sampling).
This will give an indication of the extent of work needed to be carried out during the docking period.
If any abnormal observations/phenomena are identified during the inspection, the unit is to be
dismantled when dry docked to enable further examination.
If no abnormal phenomena are found, follow the activities referred to in Routine Maintenance for
the inboard parts. For the thruster (underwater part) the following visual inspections/checks are to
be carried out during the docking period:
Unscheduled / 5 Years 10 years

Intermediate
Visually inspect the propeller unit. Check for

corrosion, cavitation and other damages. Renew X
paint if necessary.
Check the condition of sacrificial anodes (also

X
under rope guard). Replace if required.
Turn the propeller by hand to check that the

X
bearings and gears do not jam.
Drain oil from bottom of the unit (remove plug)

X
and check it for water and other contamination.
Remove the rope guard and do a visual

inspection. Remove any net or fishing line on the X
shaft seal liner, and replace the seal ring(s).
Drain oil from the propeller shaft seal chambers.

X
Refill with clean oil.
Remove one propeller blade for visual inspection

of blade seal. If worn out, change all four seal X
rings.
Visually inspect the gearwheels by removing the

X
inspection covers. Replace the o-ring.

Unscheduled / 5 Years 10 years

Intermediate
Change all seal rings in propeller shaft seal X
Change all four blade seal rings. X
Demount the propeller hub and inspect blade

X
bearing surfaces and servo mechanism for wear.
Change all roller bearings in unit X
Change all flexible hoses X
Note!
Visual inspections to be documented with pictures for future reference.
If any welding is necessary, caution must be taken when connecting the welding earth
cable. This is done to prevent the current from going through and damaging the bearings
and gear wheels during the welding process.
If the propeller shaft seal is equipped with ceramic liner, the isolation of the liner must not
be broken at any time.
