Abstract (en)
[origin: EP2107000A2] A ship propulsion unit (4) is fixed to a turning cylinder (8) which is turnable relative to a ship body. A pinion (12) of a drive shaft of a servo motor (3) is engaged with a turning ring (10) of the turning cylinder (8). A turning position command inputted from an operating wheel (16) to a control board (18) causes, via a servo amplifier (2), a servo motor (3) to be driven. The actual turning position of the ship propulsion unit (4) is detected by a tracking transmitter (14), and servo control is performed to bring the deviation between the turning position specified by the turning position command and the actual turning position to 0. A generator (40) is driven by a drive shaft (30) of a main engine for driving a propeller (5) of the ship propulsion unit, and the electric power generated by the generator (40) is supplied to the servo amplifier (2). The electric power required to control the turning position of the ship propulsion unit (4) can be generated using a main engine.
