Key points in the design of Azimuth for ships

The design of the Azimuth for ships needs to comprehensively consider the harshness of the Marine environment, ergonomic requirements and the particularity of ship operation.

I. Mechanical Structure: Precision + Stability

1. Transmission: Gear-rack linkage (clearance ≤0.05mm, efficiency ≥95%

2. Damping/Zero position: The damping for propulsion and circumferential directions is adjustable, and the spring structure is set to zero position

3. Anti-vibration and shock: Self-lubricating + thrust bearing, resistant to ≤5g vibration and ≤10g shock

--------------------------------------

II. Materials: Resistant to Marine environments

1. Main body: 6061 aluminum alloy (hard oxygen) or 316L stainless steel (salt spray 480h corrosion ≥ grade 9)

2. Handle: EPDM rubber (anti-slip raised texture)

3. Sealing: IP56 protection

--------------------------------------

III. Human-machine: Easy to operate

Handle Φ45-60mm, push ±60°, rotate 360°

2. Backlit + self-luminous, with a moisture friction coefficient of ≥0.6

--------------------------------------

IV. Maintenance: Easy to maintain

1. Modularization (handle change ≤15 minutes), key component oiling (cycle ≥12 months)

2. Potentiometer temperature compensation, exposed metal anti-biological coating
