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 15.0kW 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 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 15.0 stands out for its ease of use and strong performance. Thanks to its direct acceleration, the motor responds smoothly and precisely, significantly improving maneuverability. The rim drive design contains only one rotating component, which minimizes wear and therefore reduces maintenance costs. The motor is fully waterproof with an IP68 rating and designed for long-term use in both fresh and salt water. In addition, this POD motor offers flexible operation with both clockwise and counterclockwise rotation. For users, this means reliable performance and a quiet, vibration-free boating experience.
With an output of 15 kW, this pod motor is suitable for medium to larger vessels. The POD 15.0 is widely used in sailboats, tenders, and sloops that require additional power, as well as in professional applications such as commercial vessels, USVs, and subsea projects. The shaftless design prevents weed, rope, or debris from becoming entangled in a propeller, which minimizes maintenance and increases operational reliability. For boats operating frequently in challenging conditions, this electric pod motor offers the right combination of power, efficiency, and reliability. This makes the POD 15.0 one of the most versatile pod motors in our range.
The POD 15.0 is designed for easy and safe installation. Thanks to its plug-and-play design, the motor can be quickly integrated into both new boats and refits. You mount the motor securely on a stable bracket using stainless steel bolts, where the use of a thread-locking compound such as Loctite and correct tightening is essential. The connection to the motor controller and batteries is made using shielded cables, and for safety, fuses and an emergency switch are recommended. This guarantees a safe and reliable installation with a long service life.
