Key Advantages for UUV Integration

High Thrust in a Compact Design: Combines 12.5 kW rated power with 236 kg forward and reverse thrust in a 400 mm nozzle configuration, perfect for space-constrained UUV platforms.

Bidirectional Equal Thrust: Forward and reverse thrust are both rated at 236 kg, enabling seamless reversible propulsion control without altering the mechanical arrangement.

Non-Contact Magnetic Coupling: Transfers torque magnetically without a conventional rotating shaft penetrating the housing, eliminating traditional dynamic shaft seals to prevent leaks.

Multiple Control Interfaces: Native compatibility with analog voltage, CAN Bus, PPM, and RS485 control and feedback options to fit diverse vehicle architectures.

Flexible Depth Configurations: Supports operating depths ranging from 850 m to full sea depth, with housing materials and pressure compensation tailored to specific environmental conditions.
