AAA Propulsion electrical A-Pod series, the right choice for...
AAAPropulsion has been successful with Electric Podded Propulsion systems for many years now. Due to the unique properties of the A-Pods and the different versions in which the A-Pod's are available, AAAPropulsion can offer many unique applications. Available from the patented version with a planetary gearbox (PG), a DD (Direct Drive) version, to the highly innovative A-Pod CRP with Contra Rotating Propellers. By integrating the lower part of the A-Pod PG, DD or CRP into a tunnel, we can offer very compact tunnel thrusters with an integrated electric motor. |
We offer a 5-years warranty on all our products in combination with a service level agreement. Each of these models are designed for maximum efficiency in thrust, performance and maintenance. Check out their unique properties.
Long ‘flexible’ propeller shaft
The long propeller shaft is perfect to absorb any shock load coming from the propeller. It has a low bending moment and can easily be replaced.
Integrated electric motor
Integrated high speed permanent magnet electric motor. Low in weight, high efficiency and very compact.
Double sealing arrangement
Double mechanical seal construction with coff erdam. Oil/water leakage is being drawn inside, so no leakage to the surface water.
Discover our A-Pods
A-Pod PG
Our patented and compact A-pod PG is the first electrically driven propulsion system with an integrated electric motor (permanent magnet), hollow drive shaft and planetary gearbox. The extended propeller shaft runs through the whole Pod housing. Due to the reduction ratio of the planetary gearbox, the propeller always runs at its most economical speed, resulting in optimal performance in terms of efficiency and thrust.
A-Pod DD
The A-pod DD, has an integrated low speed PM electric motor directly coupled to the propeller shaft. This eliminates any additional reduction gear. The extended propeller shaft is perfect for absorbing any impact load on the propeller. Compared to the A-Pod PG-series the propeller diameter is more or less fixed and runs less efficient due to the outer housing diameter in relation to the propeller diameter & speed. The A-Pod DD is simple in execution and low in maintenance and suitable for a power up to 600kW
A-Pod CRP
The A-Pod CRP has the unique feature that both propellers are driven individual. Compared to the standard CRP-units where both propellers run the same speed, the A-Pod CRP has the capability in adapting their speed to the circumstances of operation and therefore resulting in a much higher efficiency. Given the fact that both propellers are directly driven by an integrated permanent magnet motor makes this unit 5-10% more efficient than comparable CRP-units.
A-pod TT
By integrating the lower part of the A-Pod PG, DD or CRP into a tunnel, we can offer very compact tunnel thrusters with an integrated electric motor. Ideal for installation as stern thruster underneath the main propeller shafts or in very tight spaces. No inboard drive motor taking up valuable space, just a simple connection box for the power cables and lubrication lines.
