The Hammerhead Drive System (HDS) is a hydraulic azimuth propulsion system engineered for demanding commercial marine applications. Designed with efficiency, modularity, and serviceability in mind, the HDS delivers a practical propulsion solution for both new vessel construction and existing vessel retrofits.
THE HAMMERHEAD ADVANTAGE
LOWER OPERATING COSTS
Use less power to do the same work.
Improved power transfer means less engine power is required to produce the same effective output at the propeller, reducing fuel consumption and operating costs.
SIMPLER SYSTEM
Fewer components. Less complexity.
A direct pump-to-drive hydraulic architecture means fewer intermediary components to maintain.
BUILT-IN SYSTEM PROTECTION
Know when something isn't right.
Pressure and temperature monitoring, safety parameters and warning alarms alert the operator when conditions move outside the defined limits, helping protect critical equipment.
DESIGNED FOR SERVICE
Easier service. Less downtime.
Remote filters, a quick-removal bearing assembly, and a swappable drive leg make routine and major service easier.
