RIMDRIVE thruster, 160kgf, tunnel diameter 250mm
SKU: RD160
Whisper-quiet and innovative.
Description
Extremely quietly
The unique RIMDRIVE operates extremely quietly. The propeller forms the rotating part of the electric motor (rotor), and the fixed winding (stator) is mounted in the tunnel. As a result, gears are not used in this design. In addition, a ring mounted around the propeller, prevents it from cavitating. Charging can either be delivered by a charger 110/230VAC to 48VDC charger or by converting the normal 12 or 24V battery supply voltage by means of a DC to DC converter solution.
Unique features:
- No carbon brushes
- Silent operation due to a virtually cavitation free propeller and no use of gears
- Proportional control as standard
- Virtually unlimited run time
- Easy to install
- Maintenance-free
- IP67 top cover
- Can be used as a stern thruster
- Suitable for aluminum, steel and GRP boats
