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 50.0kW and either with 400V or 800V 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.
This rim drive pod combines power with reliability and ease of use. The design contains only one rotating component, which minimizes wear and significantly reduces maintenance. The motor is fully waterproof with an IP68 rating, meaning it can withstand long-term use in both salt and fresh water without the need for seals. Its quiet, vibration-free operation enhances onboard comfort, while the flexibility of both clockwise and counterclockwise rotation makes the POD 50.0 suitable for a wide range of installations. For those who want to combine power, efficiency, and convenience, this pod drive is the ideal solution.
With an output of 50 kW and a robust design, this pod motor is suitable for large and heavy vessels. The POD 50.0 is widely used in commercial ships, ferries, patrol boats, and subsea projects that require powerful and reliable propulsion. It also delivers excellent performance in specialized applications such as Unmanned Surface Vessels (USVs) and research vessels. For larger boats where power and reliability are paramount, the POD 50.0 is the perfect match.
The POD 50.0 is designed for easy and safe installation. The motor is mounted on a stable mounting bracket using strong stainless steel bolts. Using a thread-locking compound such as Loctite and tightening the bolts to the correct torque are essential for a secure installation. The electrical connection is made via shielded cables to the motor controller and batteries, with fuses and an emergency switch ensuring safety. Thanks to its plug-and-play design, the motor can be efficiently integrated into both new and existing vessels without the need for complex modifications.
