RIMDRIVE thruster 160 kgf 250 mm tunnel

SKU: RD160
The RIMDRIVE thruster 160 kgf 250 mm tunnel stands out with its innovative design, where the propeller forms the rotating part of the motor (rotor), and the fixed winding (stator) is mounted inside the tunnel. This eliminates the need for gears, resulting in an exceptionally quiet operation. The ring mounted around the propeller reduces cavitation, ensuring smooth, noise-free thrust, even during demanding maneuvers.
