Engbo AS has for several years delivered bow and stern thrusters as OEM to Volvo Penta with Volvo distributing these under the QL brand. Engbo and Volvo Penta agreed in mid 2006 that the distribution shall be undertaken in two channels simultaneously with one brand name in each channel. The purpose for this was to make the thrusters more readily available in the market.
Engbo Innovation AS has developed the Engbo XForce thruster systems for distribution on the world stage. It has based its work on research and development test results, extensive laboratory findings and sea trials. A high level of output combined with reduced tunnel diameter justifies the positioning of the thrusters, which is deeper and farther to the front of a given vessel. This, in turn provides for increased effect expressed as an improved turning moment with relation to the hull.
The Engbo XForce thruster system has no direct connection between the motor and gearbox arrangement, instead is uses a solid transmission belt between the motor and the propeller shaft to transfer the power. There is no oil in the gear housing. The motor is placed in parallel with the tunnel. This design reduces noise, is compact and provides excellent conditions for the build-in. This equipment is highly desirable in vessels where space is an issue.
