Rudder:Becker rudder,UP Rudder,Twisted rudder,Steering gears
Becker rudder
In association with the Becker Marine Systems, Nakashima has provided over 2500 ships with Becker rudders in Japan. The Becker rudder is different than a conventional rudder in that it utilizes an additional flap on the trailing edge for steering. This allows up to twice the steering power compared to a traditional rudder, translating into a much more maneuverable ship.
UP Rudder
With the increase in operating speed for ships, low drag and good low speed performance are required from rudders. Based on the Becker rudder, the UP rudder fulfills these requirements. The UP rudder is used in high speed vessels due to its simple design and high torque capabilities
Twisted rudder
Twisted leading edge
This rudder avoids cavitation through a twisted leading edge that reduces pressure imbalances on the rudder blade.
Steering gears-available domestic only
The two main type of hydraulic steering gains are
-Rotary type
-Clevis type
Depending on the application, Nakashima will find the optimal combination.
