Reliable, Powerful and Silent
This RIM drive thruster is an electric shaftless propulsion system by adopting magnetic suspension technology without a gearbox or drive shaft. The stator of the electric motor is installed in the outer part of the tunnel, while the propeller blades are attached to the inside of the rotor. Motor windings are in the stator and permanent magnets in the rotor. The blades lead to a substantial reduction of cavitation.
This results in a space-saving, lower-weight thruster. It converts electrical energy directly into propulsion without transmission losses; gearbox-related noise is eliminated. Additionally, the optimized hydrodynamic design with the internal propeller blades leads to a substantial reduction of cavitation.
