Thruster Seals

THRUSTER SEALS

Thruster seals protect your thruster against water ingress and oil leakage to the outside environment. Because there are many different types of thrusters, we design a custom-made sealing solution for every application.

WHAT IS A THRUSTER?

A thruster is a propulsion system that is used to make ships more maneuverable. Because thrusters can be rotated, a rudder is no longer necessary. There are many different kinds of thrusters, for example:

Azimuth thrusters
Azipull thrusters
Tunnel thrusters
Bow thrusters

SUPREME® THRUSTER SEALS

Lagersmit delivers reliable solutions for all kinds of new and existing thrusters. This goes from basic solutions up to pressure-compensating, zero emissions, and 100% condition-monitored solutions. There are targeted designs for thrusters with varying depths, a small build-in length, and heavy-duty operations.

Our Supreme thruster seals are suitable for

Fully oil-filled lower gearboxes
Spray-lubricated lower gearboxes
Pressurized oil-filled thrusters

The Supreme thruster seals are produced with high-quality housing parts, lip seals, and liners. Our Modular, Made-to-Measure philosophy enables us to deliver customer-specific designs combined with short quotation, lead and delivery times.
