CW&CCW, How to choose,1 or 2?
CW (Clockwise) and CCW (Counter-Clockwise) Thrusters:
CW (Clockwise) Thrusters:
-
- How It Works: Spins in a clockwise direction when viewed from behind the thruster.
- Effect: Moves water in a specific direction to create forward or reverse thrust, depending on how it's mounted.
- Use: Common in systems where clockwise rotation is needed for proper thrust direction.
-
CCW (Counter-Clockwise) Thrusters:
- How It Works: Spins in a counter-clockwise direction when viewed from behind the thruster.
- Effect: Moves water in the opposite direction of CW thrusters, creating thrust in the desired direction.
- Use: Often used in systems requiring counter-clockwise rotation for balanced thrust.
Choosing Between CW and CCW:
- Single Thruster: If using only one thruster, CCW is often recommended due to its common use and compatibility with various systems.
- Dual Thruster Systems: Typically, one CW and one CCW thruster are used together to ensure balanced and stable thrust.
When choosing a single underwater thruster, it’s generally recommended to go with a CCW (Counter-Clockwise) thruster. This is because:
Common Use: CCW thrusters are more commonly used and available in the market.
Compatibility: They tend to be more compatible with various systems and applications.
