Since almost thirty years before, about 2000 Z-pellers have been manufactured and delivered to various customers

and all have met with great favor. Niigata Z-peller is developed aiming at large tugboat to make more agile in movement and quicker responce. Big advantage features excellent steering performance, high efficiency, and easy maintenance with robust structure.

To safety recent customer's needs for Ocean going support vessel and Fine fighting tugboat with notation Fi-Fi class 1, Niigata had developed and is pleased to introduce Z-peller CPP series.

The hydraulic pump for Z-peller steering control can be driven by main engine through the Power Take Off clutch. This system can save the power consumption. Even if the vessel gets into the black-out conditions, the Z-peller steering control can be done continuously as fail safe. The steering speed can be in constant by variable displacement type hydraulic pump.

Hydraulic pump for Z-peller

The Omega clutch consists of "Input Shaft", "Output Shaft", "Wet type Hydraulic Multiplate Clutch" and "Geared Oil Pump" driven by the input shaft. The clutch piston is connected with the output shaft. The "Omega valve" is provided to operate the clutch hydraulic system to make the slipping contol reliable. The torque is transmitted by viscous friction using the shear strength of an oil film, varying its thickness. To prevent the wearing of friction discs, a continuous flow of lubricating oil is fed between friction discs during the slipping control. There is no contact between the friction element.

-Dividing the power from main engine. -Making the ultra-low speed on propeller below idling speed of main engine. -Smooth control on propeller speed resulting in grater maneuverability. -The power take off (PTO) from engine front is available to drive auxiliary machinery. -The slipping control can be done continuously for a long time owing to appropriate cooling system.

Slipping control can be done only when main engine is at idling.

Slipping control can be done when main engine is at rated spped in constant.

Omega clutch is remotely controled with electric and pneumatic system.
