3. SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
This section provides detailed information about the system to ensure safe and efficient operations.
Refer to Chapter 12 for the project specific assembly drawings from Rolls-Royce Marine.
3.1 System Overview

The design of the Swing-up thruster is based on long experience when it comes to production,
operation and maintenance.
Swing–up thruster
TCNS 73
TCNS 92
The TCNS work as an Azimuth thruster. This thruster is

designed for quick conversion from operational to a stored
position.
Swing up / Combi thrusters key features:
The thruster can be delivered pre-installed in the hull module or as a separate thruster unit.
Available in CP and FP propeller.
Electric or diesel drive.
Remote control system for hoist/lowering, steering and pitch.
3.2 Design

This thruster swings up into a housing in the hull when not in use. It can quickly be swung down
about a horizontal axis into the operating position.
In operation, it functions as an azimuth thruster and is designed to develop maximum bollard pull in
the maneuvering condition, or to provide dynamic positioning. A high thrust is developed in relation
to input power, and this thrust can be vectored in any desired direction.
In the stowed position the thruster does not protrude below the vessel’s keel/baseline, an important
consideration for shallow water operations.
The Swing-up thruster can easily be swung down around the

horizontal input shaft axis into the operation position.
In operation, the Swing-up thruster is 360 rotatable and, and

develop maximum bollard pull in the maneuvering condition, or to
provide power for staing keeping.
The thruster swings up into a housing in the hull when not in use.
In this position, the thruster does not protrude below the vessels
keel/baseline.
The Swing-up thruster supply package can be delivered in two ways:
Mounted in a prefabricated hull fitting module with the hydraulic system already fully
commissioned. The complete hull fitting module is welded directly into the hull structure.
Thruster unit delivered seperately, ready to be installed in the hull. This means full
commissioning of the hydraulic system at the yard, as well as welding of both upper and lower
locking.

The propulsion system:
Mechanical parts for power transformation of both steering and propeller rotation.
Hydraulic parts for lubrication and hydraulic control of the equipment.
Electric parts for control units, drive motors and pumps.

3.2.1 Hull module
The hull module is an optional

feature from Rolls-Royce. If not
supplied by RRM, the hull
module must be made
according to RRM space and
interface requirements.

3.2.2 Steering gear
The Steering gear is a complete unit with two bearing

journals intended for mounting to the hull foundation.
One slow turning radial piston hydraulic motor [1]
turns the bevel gear [2] mounted on top of the
steering column thereby providing 360º steering. The
steering feedback is placed on the hydraulic motor.
The steering system has one set of gear wheels; the

pinion shaft [2] and the crown wheel [3]. The power or
torque from the steering motor is transmitted to the
pinion shaft via the spline coupling arranged as a
male spline on the motor shaft and a female spline in
a cavity of the pinion shaft.
The crown wheel is bolted directly into the steering

column [4]. The torque is transmitted by friction
between the bolted components in addition to a
certain number of dowel pins. The thruster unit with
nozzle is bolted to the flange at the lower end of the
rudderstock and transmitting the torque by friction
and dowel pins.

[2]= Bevel gear
[3]= Crown wheel
[4]= Steering column
[5]= Pitch indicator

3.2.3 Thruster unit
The thruster unit is equipped with a four bladed propeller. It

is connected to the upper gears via an intermediate shafting
arrangement. There are two alternative propeller
configurations:
Controllable pitch (CP): Propeller thrust is regulated by

the propeller pitch.
Fixed pitch (FP): Propeller thrust is regulated by the

RPM control
To increase the specific thrust, the unit is equipped with a

propeller nozzle.
The propeller hub acts as the bearing surfaces for the

propeller blades.
The thruster is uni-directional.
3.2.4 Lifting / locking cylinders
The thruster is lowered and retracted by

means of two hydraulic cylinders. The
cylinder bodies are connected to brackets
on each side of the hull module. The
piston rods are connected to the arms of
the swing bearing assemblies.
The thruster is locked in lower or

retracted position by hydraulic operated
locking bolts. Each bolt is installed into
brackets that are aligned to the steering
gear unit in hoisted and lowered position.
The operation of the cylinders and bolts
are remotely operated. The control valves
are located at the hydraulic module.

[2] Locking bolts and cylinders

3.2.5 Hydraulic module TCNS 73 & TCNS 92
The module contains the major hydraulic components for the three hydraulic systems:
Pitch control.
Steering, lift-lower (retraction).
Locking control.
The major functions like lift / lowering / locking, steering and pitch control are hydraulically operated
via solenoid valves [8]. In order to protect the solenoid valves against contamination, Duplex
pressure filters [1] are installed in the pitch and steering / lift-lower / locking systems.
The hydraulic pumps [7] are driven by an el. motor [3]. An oil cooler [4] with thermostatic valve and
sensor for temperature alarm is installed in the return line. Hand pump [6] and needed valves and
hoses for emergency hoisting of the unit according to Class requirements are also provided.
The unit is equipped with the required alarms and interlocks to meet the Classification Societies
requirements.

3.2.7 Gravity tank w/air reduction panel
The gravity oil tank must be installed according to specifications by Rolls-Royce Marine. The
thruster unit, hydraulic unit, external components and the gravity/expansion tank are filled with oil
that is common for the complete system and is hence considered as one unit. The tank is equipped
with a float switch for low level alarm.
The gravity tank is delivered as a pressurized tank. Then it is possible to compensate for a low
placement in the ship by pressurizing the tank with air. This will ensure a correct over pressure and
avoid water ingress to the system. Air comes from the pressurized air system, via the air reduction
panel to the gravity tank. The air reduction panel is equipped with a reduction valve, pressure
gauge and low pressure air alarm.

TECHNICAL
SUBJECT: TCNS073 CP
1.2 Design
The design of the SWING-UP is based on long experience with azimuth thrusters used as
both main and auxillary propulsion. The unique retraction possibility (swing-up) makes it
possible for quick conversion from parked position (in the double bottom of the hull) to
azimuth mode and vise versa.
The SWING-UP propulsion system is a 360º rotatable azimuth thruster with either CP or
FP ducted propeller. With a SWING-UP propulsion system the ship will be able to increase
manoeuvrability without loosing the possibility to go into shallow water.
1.3 Function
Vessels equipped with SWING-UP’s do normally need good manoeuvrability and/or
additional thrust (bollard) and the SWING-UP provides both. From zero (0) to approx. ten
(10) knots (depending on size) the use is unrestricted, above ten knots the steering angle is
limited to +/- 35º port and starboard.
Combined with CP propellers, the SWING-UP can have combinator curves. The curve is
then designed to give maximum efficiency according to use.
Deployment and retraction is done by use of hydraulics. The deployment/retraction is done

by turning (swinging) the unit around two hinges mounted in the hull. The turning centre is
common with the input drive shaft centre making it possible to deploy and retract without
disconnecting the drive motor. Two hydraulic cylinders are used to lift and lower the unit,
and two hydraulic cylinders are used to lock the unit in upper or lower position.

7. MAINTENANCE
This chapter describes all relevant maintenance procedures and activities to be carried out by the
ship’s crew.
Warning
Never work alone when installing heavy components, even when using
secure lifting equipment such as lockable block and tackle. Most lifting
devices require two people, one to oversee to the lifting device and the
other to ensure that the components do not get caught and damaged.
Always wear protective goggles if there is a risk of splinters, grinding

sparks and splashes from acid or other chemicals. Eyes are extremely
sensitive and an injury to them can result in loss of sight.
Using hydraulic oil other than the one specified in this manual may cause
malfunctions when manoeuvring the vessel. This may cause personal
injury and equipment damage.
Caution!
Most chemicals intended for the product (engine and gearbox oils, glycol,
gasoline and diesel), or the workshop (degreasing agent, paints and solvents)
are harmful to your health. Read the instructions on packaging carefully! Always
follow protective measures such as using a protective mask, goggles, gloves etc.
Ensure that other personnel are not unknowingly exposed to harmful substances
in the air that they breathe; ensure adequate ventilation. Dispose used and
excess chemicals according to instructions.
Ensure that the warning or information decals on the product are always visible.
Replace decals that are damaged or painted over.
Take care of the hydraulic oil when replacing parts in the hydraulic system. Any
oil spillage, even a small one, will cause environmental damage. Used filter
elements and worn out hydraulic oil should be disposed safely.
If hydraulic oil disappears from the system and there is a risk that this oil is
polluting the seawater, the system must be immediately shut down and
inspected.
Note!
Use spare parts produced by Rolls-Royce Marine, or by a manufacturer
approved or licensed by them. Use of other than approved spare parts will void
the warranty and may result in system failure or reduced lifetime.

5. Remove the pump [1] by unfastening the nuts and bolts

at the motor/coupling housing.
6. Remove flexible coupling bush from the pump shaft.
7. Remove coupling housing from the pump.
8. Remove the suction manifold.
9. Re-assemble the new pump assembly in opposite order

(6-8).
10. Mount the assembly to the motor.
11. Connect suction and pressure connections.
Note!
The hydraulic system to be filled, pressurized (when applicable) and suction line and manifold
vented according to the hydraulic system starting up procedure after a pump change!

7.10 Change of hydraulic hoses
Hoses
Clampes

7.10.1 Remove hydraulic hoses
Drop the oil level in the system.
Assess how many components must be removed to facilitate replacing the damaged hose. This
may include housings, guards, clamps, other hoses and components. Follow the hose from one
end to the other, noting the route you will use to uninstall and reinstall it.
Mark any components that are removed in order to find back the original connections during re-
assembly.
Remove all clamps and attachments which will interfere with removing the hose.
Disconnect the hose at both ends.
Clean the pipe fittings at the connection terminal/brackets.
Plug the fittings that remain on the machine to keep debris from getting into the system during
the interval the fitting is open (if a new hose is not available and has to be replaced).
7.10.2 Install hydraulic hoses

Clean all the fittings on the equipment before reinstalling the hose. Make sure there is no dirt in
the tubing or fitting which will end up in the system.
Install the hose by hand to ensure the threads enter properly.

Make sure the hose is in the correct location, and it has the proper amount of slack where
needed when it is installed.
Make sure the plastic ring of the compression fitting is in place.
Tighten one connection first. Use proper tools with correct AF dimension to avoid distorting the
nut. Tighten the second connection and observe that the hose is not twisting.
If the system has been drained causing air in the suction line, the hydraulic system has to be
vented according to instructions for starting of the hydraulic system.
Start the system and check for leaks.

7.11 Flushing of shaft seal
Spare parts Ref. No Special tools and test equipment Qty
A shaft seal tank is mounted on the hydraulic module (as low as possible) to lubricate and facilitate
flushing of the shaft seal. The tank is prepared for additional air pressure, but is only to be
pressurized when flushing the shaft seal.
The purpose of flushing the shaft seal is to change the oil in the seal, and thereby achieve longer
lifetime on the sealing rings. It will also be possible to check for water ingress using the same
equipment.
Flushing of shaft seal:
1. Check the level in the shaft

seal tank.
2. Close the shut-off valve [1]

(normally open).
3. Place a bucket under the

drain valve [2].
4. Open the shut-off valve [2]

(normally close).
5. Connect the air supply to

the tank, pressure 0.1-0.2
bar (safety valve tank 0.3
bar).
6. Flush to all oil is changed,

approx 5.0 l.
7. Close the drain valve [2].
8. Remove the bucket.
9. Disconnect the air supply.
10. Open the shut-off valve [1].
11. Check the level in the shaft seal tank, refill if necessary.

7.12 Docking procedures
Warning
Do not start the prime mover when in dry dock! Running the unit out of water will
. damage the propeller shaft sealing.
Note!
Any dismantling of the unit should be carried out in the presence of a representative from Rolls-
Royce Marine.
Before docking, the unit is to be carefully inspected with respect to noise, vibrations and leaks
(ref. Routine maintenance). Oil samples should be taken and analyzed (ref. procedure for oil
sampling). This will give an indication of the extent of work needed to be carried out during the
docking period. If any abnormal observations/phenomena are identified during the inspection,
the unit is to be dismantled when dry docked to enable further examination.
If no abnormal phenomena are found, follow the activities referred to in Routine Maintenance
for the inboard parts. For the thruster (underwater part) the following visual inspections/checks
are to be carried out during the docking period.
To lower the unit require minimum 2.5 meter for the TCNS(C) 73 and minimum 3 meter for the
TCNS(C) 92 measured form the dock floor to the ships bottom.
Unscheduled / 5 Years 10 years

Intermediate
Visually inspect the propeller unit. Check for

corrosion, cavitation and other damages. Renew X X X
paint if necessary.
Check the condition of sacrificial anodes.

X X X
Replace if required.
Turn the propeller by hand to check that the

X X X
bearings and gears do not jam.
Drain oil from bottom of the unit and check it for

X X X
water and other contamination.
Do a visual inspection of the rope guard. If any

net or fishing line on the shaft seal liner is found,
open the rope guard, remove the foreign object X X X
and replace the seal ring(s), and change shaft
seal zink anodes.
Drain oil from the propeller shaft seal chambers.

X X X
Refill with clean oil.

Unscheduled / 5 Years 10 years

Intermediate
Remove one propeller blade for visual inspection

of blade seal. If worn out, change all four seal X X X
rings.
Visually inspect the gearwheels by removing the

X X
inspection covers. Replace the o-ring.
Change all seal rings in propeller shaft seal X X
Change all four blade seal rings. X X
Demount the propeller hub and inspect blade

X X
bearing surfaces and servo mechanism for wear.
Change all roller bearings in unit X
Change all flexible hoses X
Note!
Visual inspections to be documented with pictures for future reference.
If any welding is necessary, caution must be taken when connecting the welding earth cable.
This is done to prevent the current from going through and damaging the bearings and gear
wheels during the welding process.
If the propeller shaft seal is equipped with ceramic liner, it has to be isolated from the rest of the
equipment. Note bolt head/bolt isolative washer/sleeve and flange packing.
