Rimdrive thruster 160 kgf, 24 V, tunnel Ø250mm
Whisper quiet, innovative, 160kgf! - Lock & Hold for easy docking.
The RIMDRIVE is unique in its design; when operating, this thruster is virtually silent. The propeller forms the rotating part of theelectric motor (rotor) and the fixed winding (stator) is mounted in the tunnel. Therefore noisy gears are not used in this design.Secondly a ring mounted around the propeller, prevents the propeller from cavitating.
The RIMDRIVE 160 kgf needs a thruster supply voltage of 48 VOLT DC. Charging can either be deliveredby a charger 110/230VAC to 48VDC charger or by converting the normal 12 or 24V battery supply voltage by means of a DC toDC converter solution. The panel (BPJP) and interface (RDIF) needs to be ordered separately.
