Voith Schneider Propeller · Shaft Line & Propulsion
Voith VSP (Voith Schneider) 800kW is a Voith Schneider Propeller, a cycloidal propulsor rated at 800 kW with a listed thrust of 56 kN. Vertically mounted blades on a rotating disc in the hull bottom are pitched by a kinematic linkage, so that the magnitude and direction of thrust can be changed instantly without rotating the unit. It is used for propulsion and precise manoeuvring on vessels that require high agility.
What our service work and the manufacturer documentation say about keeping this model running.
Check lubricating oil level, condition and water content, and inspect blade seals, blade bearings and the pitch-control linkage for leakage and play. Inspect blades and the hull-bottom area during dry-docking or underwater surveys, and verify control and feedback signals. Refer to the manufacturer and class documentation for exact clearances, intervals and survey criteria.
Keep blade seals, lubricating oil and filters, control sensors, actuator and valve service parts, and manufacturer-recommended bearing and linkage consumables. Blades and the rotor assembly are normally strategic spares. Confirm all parts against the exact unit and serial documentation.
