RIMDRIVE bow thruster ø250 mm - 160 Kgf

RIMDRIVE bow thruster ø250 mm - 160 Kgf Vetus Rimdrive bow thruster. The RIMDRIVE is unique in its design. In operation, this thruster is virtually silent. The propeller forms the rotating part of the electric motor (rotor) and the fixed winding (stator) is mounted in the tunnel. As a result, noisy gears are not used in this design. In addition, a ring mounted around the propeller prevents cavitation. The RIMDRIVE is available in 125 and 160 kgf and requires a thruster supply voltage of 48V. Charging can either be provided by a 110/230VAC charger, a 48VDC charger or by converting the normal 12 or 24V battery supply using a DC-DC converter solution. The panel (BPJP) and interface (RDIF) must be ordered separately. Features : * propeller integrated into the electric propulsion motor (rotor) *stator in the tunnel tube *compact structure *no cavitation between the blades and the tunnel *very quiet. Note: Rimdrive bow thruster replacement parts are easily replaceable.the unit can operate continuously and indefinitely thanks to its excellent motor cooling capacities.the continuously adjustable proportional control, small footprint for easy installation, low power consumption for high performance make this an ultra-high-performance unit. - Some important information:
