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 4.2kW and a nominal 24V voltage, achieving over 90% efficiency. Immediate acceleration sets it apart, while a compact design and low weight ensures compatibility for small 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 4.2 is known for its ease of use and strong performance. Thanks to its direct acceleration, the motor responds smoothly and precisely, allowing for effortless maneuvering. The rim drive design contains only one rotating component, which keeps wear and maintenance to a minimum. In addition, this rim drive pod is fully waterproof with an IP68 rating, as the motor is completely encapsulated rather than relying on seals. This increases reliability and makes the motor suitable for intensive use in both fresh and salt water. Its quiet, vibration-free operation further ensures optimal onboard comfort.
With an output of 4.2 kW, this pod motor is highly versatile. The POD 4.2 is ideal for small to medium-sized boats such as sailboats, sloops, tenders, and RIBs. It also delivers reliable performance in professional applications, including light USVs (Unmanned Surface Vessels) and subsea projects. For those looking for a pod boat motor that is powerful, quiet, and efficient, the POD 4.2 is an excellent solution.
The POD 4.2 is designed for fast and safe installation. Thanks to its plug-and-play design, the motor can be easily integrated into new vessels or existing installations. You mount the motor securely on a mounting bracket using strong stainless steel bolts. Using a thread-locking compound such as Loctite and tightening the bolts to the correct torque ensure a safe and durable installation. The electrical connection is made via shielded cables to the motor controller and batteries, with fuses and an emergency switch enhancing safety. This makes the installation reliable and ready for long-term use.
