Electric Rim Drive Motors: The Ideal Propulsion Solution for Unmanned Surface Vessels
Unmanned Surface Vessels (USVs) are becoming essential in modern maritime operations. They are used for
Unleash power with a maximum input of 11.0kW and a 48V nominal voltage, achieving over 90% efficiency. Immediate acceleration sets it apart, while a compact and lightweight design makes this product truly ideal for the most space-conscious installations. With only one rotating part, maintenance is minimized. Enjoy versatility with clockwise, counterclockwise, and symmetric directions for every motor. Plus, all motors are completely waterproof with an IP68 rating, achieved by completely casting the motor not by using sealings. The design also minimizes risk of damage to the propeller, perfect performance in any environment.

The A-780 combines efficiency and durability, with a cruising time of 10 hours at a cruising speed of 6 km/h and a top speed of 14 km/h, ideal for long, quiet trips.
The new patented Dynamic Positioning System (DP system) provides centimetre-accurate positioning and heading.
The motor offers 15 hours of runtime and precise maneuverability for various tasks.
This boat’s advanced capabilities enable the collection for crucial oceanographic data and the protection of critical underwater infrastructures.
– The installation of a POD motor is a simple process that can be completed within one day.
– All materials are carefully selected to maintain optimal performance and endurance. However, this requires the use of an anode to protect the motor. For additional instructions please see the manual of the motor.
– No, POD motors require less maintenance than competitors thanks to their simple and robust design.
– Yes, if your boat needs two pod motors, a twin installation is possible.
– Our motor provides about 70% of reverse thrust, while many competitors offer only minimal power for reverse thrust.
The POD 11.0 stands out for its direct acceleration and exceptionally smooth handling. Its unique rim drive design contains only one rotating component, which minimizes wear and therefore reduces maintenance costs compared to traditional motors. The motor is fully waterproof according to the IP68 standard and designed for long-term use in both fresh and salt water. With features such as both clockwise and counterclockwise rotation, this rim drive pod offers maximum flexibility. In addition, you enjoy quiet, vibration-free operation, making the onboard experience especially comfortable.
With an output of 11 kW, this pod motor is suitable for a wide range of applications. It is often used in medium-sized sailboats, tenders, and sloops, as well as in commercial projects and subsea applications. For vessels that combine power and maneuverability with efficient energy use, the POD 11.0 is an excellent choice. This makes the electric pod motor one of the most versatile models in the Rim Drive Technology range.
Installing the POD 11.0 is straightforward and safe. Its plug-and-play design allows the motor to be easily integrated into both new vessels and existing boats. You mount the motor on a stable mounting bracket using stainless steel bolts, with the use of a thread-locking compound such as Loctite and correct tightening ensuring optimal strength. In addition, the motor controller can be connected using shielded cables, and fuses and emergency switches are required to ensure safety. This guarantees a reliable and durable installation.
The POD 11.0 is completely emission-free and contributes to a clean and quiet boating experience. Because no oil or seals are used, the risk of leaks is eliminated. Rim Drive Technology is also a COâ‚‚-neutral company committed to sustainable innovation within the maritime sector. By choosing an electric pod motor such as the POD 11.0, you invest not only in powerful performance but also in an environmentally friendly future.
Are you looking for a powerful and reliable pod motor? The POD 11.0 combines performance, durability, and ease of use in one compact drive.
