Optimum operation for a ship's propeller (1) is achieved by utilization of a force sensor (3) (load cell) for longitudinal force in the propeller shaft (2), suitably arranged in ''the thrust bearing'' (4) of the propeller shaft, and this force sensor (3) is continuously monitored by a computer (6) which in turn controls a) the output from the ship's engine (8), and b) optionally, the pitch angle of the propeller blades if a variable-pitch propeller is used. |
