POD drive for ships (electric motor) WET
AMS Thrusters
The Azimuthing Thruster System "Wet" E-Pod concept breaks new ground in thrust; weight and reliability. The thruster system is designed to prevent leakage. Typical thruster systems are prone to water entering or oil leaking through the propeller shaft seals. The E-Pod Wet thruster design eliminates this problem by the introduction of an internal sealed diaphragm located between the rotor and stator, creating two separate isolated and sealed compartments. Water cannot reach the stator through the shaft seal. Using grease packed and sealed bearings the rotor can even run in sea water.
