VSP 24R/20

The Voith Schneider VSP 24R/20 is a cycloidal propulsion unit that provides thrust in any direction without changing shaft rotation, enabling precise maneuvering and dynamic positioning; source-listed power 4800.0 kW. The supplied category identifies it as Voith Schneider Propeller, and it is normally installed beneath the hull as a vertical-axis cycloidal propulsion unit with multiple vertically oriented blades. In that role, its primary purpose is to generate continuously variable thrust direction and magnitude for propulsion and highly responsive manoeuvring. Unlike conventional screw propellers, a Voith Schneider unit controls thrust by cyclically changing the pitch of vertical blades as the rotor turns. Within the supplied list, this entry is distinguished from neighbouring variants by its model designation and the explicitly listed power; no further model-specific difference is stated in the source. No additional performance, approval or construction detail is inferred from the model code beyond the information supplied in the source record. For exact ratings, dimensions, settings, capacities, materials and variant-specific limits, refer to the manufacturer documentation for the exact figure.
