1. DESCRIPTION
1.1 GENERAL
The SCHOTTEL rudder propeller, hereafter called SRP, is a
Z-drive unit. The lower gearing with the propeller has been
designed to be able to infinitely turn to port or starboard,
so that the full propeller thrust can be directed to any
desired direction, thus obtaining the optimum combination of
propulsion and steering.
The power is transmitted through two pairs of spiral bevel
gears made from high quality material.
The steering is transmitted through such a pair of bevel
gears.
All bevel gears have been hardened and lapped in pairs
The lower gearing with associated screws and gaskets is made
of corrosion resistant material.
