Veth Steering Grid

Are you looking for a 360 degree steerable bow thruster, which takes little space and is easy to install? If so the Veth Steering Grid is the solution. The Veth Steering Grid is available in the power range from 200 to 650 hp @ 1800 RPM

Introducing the Veth Steering Grid

Are you in search of a 360° steerable thruster that seamlessly integrates into your vessel’s design while maximizing efficiency and minimizing space requirements? Look no further than the Veth Steering Grid. Engineered to deliver optimal thrust with minimal draft, this innovative solution boasts a horizontally mounted propeller, ensuring unparalleled performance without any protrusions beneath the vessel, even at high speeds.

At the heart of the Veth Steering Grid lies proven technology derived from the renowned Veth Jet, including the precision of the worm wheel and gear transmission. This integration of trusted components ensures reliability and ease of operation, making the Veth Steering Grid the preferred choice for marine propulsion systems.

With a Veth Steering Grid you can obtain maximum thrust with minimum immersion by using the horizontal propeller. Also at high speed and without any parts protruding under the vessel!

Discover the future of marine propulsion with the Veth Steering Grid – where cutting-edge design meets unparalleled performance.

Drive options

The Veth Steering Grid is available in diesel, electric and vertical mount electric motor drives. In all cases the drive motor can be supplied with the bow thruster in a complete package.

  • Diesel driven
  • Electric driven
Advantages of the Veth Steering Grid
  • No channels required
  • Maximum thrust at minimum draught
  • Over 360 degrees steering capability
  • Possibility to change propeller without docking
  • Compact and easy to install
  • Low maintenance due to robust construction
  • Diesel, electric and hydraulic drive options available
  • Choice of ClassicLine and CrystalLine control systems

 

Are you looking for a good solution for smaller power range? Then the Veth Compact Grid may be the right option for you.

Operation

Installing the Steering Grid is a breeze, offering effortless setup while ensuring maximum thrust with minimal immersion. Beyond its primary function, it serves as a reliable emergency propulsion system. Powering the propeller is either a diesel engine or an electric motor connected through a reduction gearbox, guaranteeing versatile performance.

Water intake occurs through the propeller opening beneath the vessel, guided outward through a hydrodynamically streamlined housing, and filtered via a grid mechanism. This grid, directly controllable across 360 degrees, enhances maneuverability and control.

Compact in design, the gearbox minimizes exterior pipework, while critical components such as the transmission and drive shaft bearings benefit from oil-bath lubrication. Standard-equipped with a 4-blade NiAl bronze propeller, the Steering Grid promises both efficiency and durability in marine propulsion.

 

Ballast Pump

Are you looking for a pump that pumps large amounts of (ballast) water with minimal power? Then the Veth Ballast Pump is a good solution for you.

This pump, developed by Veth Propulsion, can be used in two directions of rotation. Unique in this application is that the piping is reduced to an absolute minimum.

With any bow thruster you have the option to order a ballast pump to go with it.

 

Advantages of the Ballast Pump

  • With little power, large amounts of water displacement
  • Robust yet compact
  • Oil-lubricated propeller shaft
  • High quality seals
  • Easy to assemble and disassemble
  • Great ease of use
  • In-house engineering
