Vetus RimDrive Thruster 125KFG
The RIMDRIVE is unique in its design - when operating this thruster is virtually silent. The propeller forms the rotating part of the electric motor (rotor) and the fixed winding (stator) is mounted in the tunnel. Therefore noisy gears are not used in this design. Secondly a ring mounted around the propeller prevents the propeller from cavitating.
The RIMDRIVE needs a thruster supply voltage of 48VDC. Charging can either be delivered by a charger 110/230VAC to 48VDC charger or by converting the normal 12 or 24V battery supply voltage by means of a DC to DC converter solution. The panel (BPJP) and interface (RDIF) need to be ordered separately.
