The stern tube is a component in the ship's shaft system, fixed to the stern of the hull, through which the stern shaft passes and equipped with sealing and supporting devices.
The boat stern tube is an important part of the ship's rudder system. It is generally made of high-quality metal materials, such as high-strength carbon steel or stainless steel, to ensure sufficient strength and corrosion resistance. Its main function is to provide stable support and guidance for the rudder shaft, so that the rudder shaft can rotate smoothly in it, thereby accurately controlling the ship's heading. The inner wall of the Marine Stern Tube is finely processed to have good cylindricality and surface finish to reduce friction with the rudder shaft. The external structure design can be firmly connected to the hull to ensure that it always maintains a stable working state under complex marine environments and ship operating conditions, and fulfills its mission safely and reliably for the ship's navigation.
1. The stern tube supports the tail shaft through its internal bearings to ensure that the tail shaft can rotate smoothly. At the same time, the sealing device prevents external liquids such as seawater from entering the hull and protects the hull from damage.
2. The injection moulded rudder stocks can protect the tail shaft, providing a protective shell for the tail shaft, preventing the tail shaft from being directly exposed to the external environment, and reducing damage to the tail shaft by external factors.
3. The rudder tube can improve the performance of the ship. The positioning accuracy of the stern tube plays a key role in the safe navigation of the ship, ensuring that the ship can operate stably and efficiently.
4. The rudder tube can prevent water from entering. Through the design and installation of the stern tube, it can effectively prevent water from entering the ship from the rear of the hull, protecting the safety of the equipment and cargo in the ship.
The rudder tube is widely used in various ship fields. In commercial shipping, whether it is a large container ship, tanker or bulk carrier, the rudder tube is a key component to ensure the precise steering of the ship, so that it can sail smoothly in busy waterways and ocean voyages. On passenger ships such as luxury cruise ships, the stable operation of the rudder tube can provide tourists with a comfortable boating experience and ensure the accuracy of the route. In terms of military ships, from destroyers to submarines, the Long Rudder stock plays an indispensable role in the maneuverability and tactical execution of ships. In addition, in small boats such as fishing vessels and yachts, the steering tube also has an important mission, helping them to turn flexibly and navigate safely in rivers, lakes and seas.
