RIM bow / stern thrusters: 1.5 - 2 - 3 -5 - 7 - 8 - 10 - 12 - 15 - 20 - 20L kW series
This Rim Thruster series replaces traditional bow and stern thrusters with a far more compact, quieter and stronger alternative. With power ratings from 1.5 kW up to 15 kW, the motor is built directly into the propeller rim, removing the need for shafts, gears and complex mechanical interfaces. The result is smooth, silent thrust with exceptional control in tight manoeuvres.
The sealed rim-drive architecture delivers high torque at low rpm, fast response and minimal maintenance. Magnetic coupling protects internal components, while the compact housing fits where conventional tunnel thrusters cannot. CAN-bus support allows clean integration into modern steering and automation systems.
Ideal for workboats, hybrid craft and small passenger vessels, this series brings precise handling and strong lateral thrust without noise or bulk. A next-generation manoeuvring system — engineered for real marine operations.
