DISKDRIVE™ 80 – Advanced Thruster for Aquatic Vechicles

• DISKDRIVE™ 80 is ultra-slim and rim-driven
• DISKDRIVE™ 80 is brushless and hubless

Design

DISKDRIVE™ thrusters are ultra-slim, rim-driven, and brushless, designed for efficient vertical stabilization of underwater vehicles by reducing drag. their hubless propeller prevents robots from getting tangled in debris like plants or ropes. The patented, pressure-proof, oil-free design has no seals, allowing for quick propeller swaps in under 10 seconds without special tools.

Operation

DISKDRIVE™ thrusters are user-friendly and compatible with various electronic speed controllers (ESCs). Their symmetrical design delivers equal thrust in both directions, enabling rapid directional changes. For even greater efficiency, the thrusters can be integrated into the vehicle’s hull or paired with optional water flow guiding ducts and a mounting bracket, both available in our webshop.

Ultimate Endurance

Thanks to its unique hydro-lubricated construction, DISKDRIVE™ thrusters are built for exceptional durability. In endurance tests, the DISKDRIVE™ 80 thruster ran continuously for over 7,000 hours and completed 1.2 million directional reversals within 1,000 hours, showing minimal wear.
