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 0.5kW and a 48V nominal 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.
