SH160 tunnel thruster hydraulic Ø215 U10

Product Description

Sleipner offers a wide range of hydraulic thrusters for installation in tunnels. These models are designed for larger recreational and commercial boats with a power range of 100-1400 kg, and can be mounted in both the bow and stern.

To ensure that all hydraulic components are compatible and maintain the same high quality, Sleipner offers complete hydraulic systems with guaranteed performance. All hydraulic thruster systems are delivered ready for use to provide a straightforward solution and the highest degree of quality assurance.

Hydraulic tank 

A thruster will usually be the most demanding consumer among the hydraulic parts on board. Sleipner’s hydraulic system is specially designed for ultimate flexibility to support all other hydraulic parts on board.

• Tank in powder-coated stainless steel
• Soft mounting points to avoid structural noise from floor-mounted tanks
• Internal splash plate that helps remove air from the oil
• Sloping bottom in the tank with drain plug at the lowest point in floor-mounted tanks
• All internal hydraulic connections on the tank come pre-installed
• All internal electrical connections for thrusters are pre-wired and ready with splice connectors
• Optional temperature-controlled water pump for oil cooler
• Flexible configuration

Sleipner’s hydraulic systems offer significant savings in labor costs and space as practically every required component comes pre-installed and wired. Sleipner’s systems only require external hydraulic and electrical connections (which can only be done on board), saving time and money for the installer. A Sleipner system comes with all necessary drawings, installation manuals, system start-up manual, maintenance manuals, etc. to ensure easy and correct installation and a lifetime of reliability and easy service work.

Hydraulic pump

Sleipner’s hydraulic thruster systems only use variable displacement piston pumps. They offer a high level of reliability, efficiency, and flexibility.

Benefits of a load sensing system

Load sensing means that the displacement of the pump is controlled by a pressure signal from the hydraulic control valves. The pump will then continuously sense whether more flow or pressure is needed for consumers and adjust the displacement accordingly. This means there is no need to constantly rely on electrical activation or pump large volumes of unused oil around the boat.

• Reliable and proven system
• Delivers only the flow and pressure actually needed at the time
• Load sensing control on the pump is more reliable than an electrical clutch
• Low heat development and energy loss
• Highly efficient piston pumps
• Low noise level in both drive and idle mode
• Spark-proof for installation in gasoline areas

Support

Sleipner’s hydraulic systems only use hydraulic components from well-known manufacturers to ensure reliability and easy access to spare parts and support worldwide.
