SCHOTTEL Combi Drive

SCHOTTEL has developed a new concept that combines the main technical and economic criteria of both mechanical Rudderpropellers and pod drives: the SCHOTTEL Combi Drive (SCD).

In contrast to pod drives with an electric motor inside the underwater pod, the motor in the new propulsion system will be integrated vertically into the support tube of the Rudderpropeller. This arrangement of the electric motor means that the concept is similar to that of a Rudderpropeller with a vertical power input (“L system”). Moreover, neither an above-water gearbox nor a cardan shaft will be required, making the system extremely compact and easy for the shipyard to install in the vessel.

The SCHOTTEL Combi Drive will be based on the successful Rudderpropeller types SRP 1515, SRP 2020 and SRP 3030, with their proven mechanical components, and will cover the power range from 1900 to 3800 kW with propeller diameters from 2500 to 3500 mm. The azimuth steering can be implemented using either hydraulic or electric motors. The new drive will be available as single propeller version with nozzle or twin propeller version.
