The BlueRobotics T500 Thruster w/o Speed Controller is an advanced underwater propulsion device engineered to deliver exceptional performance for high-power remotely operated vehicles (ROVs), surface vessels, autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs), and human-carrying applications such as kayaks. This thruster is distinguished by its robust and adaptable design, making it suitable for a wide range of demanding marine applications.
With a thrust capacity exceeding three times that of its predecessor, the T200 Thruster, the T500 is capable of generating a maximum thrust of 16.1 kgf at 24 volts. This makes it an ideal choice for applications requiring significant power and efficiency. The thruster operates effectively within a voltage range of 7 to 24 volts, providing flexibility in various operational settings.
The T500 is constructed from durable materials, including polycarbonate with 10% glass fill, epoxy, stainless steel 316, plastic, polyurethane, FKM, and Buna-N, ensuring longevity and reliability even in challenging underwater environments. It is rated for depths up to 300 meters, allowing it to function effectively in deep-sea conditions. Additionally, the thruster is designed to operate in water temperatures ranging from 2 to 27 degrees Celsius, accommodating a broad spectrum of aquatic environments.
The thruster's weight is 1157 grams in air and 730 grams in water, optimizing its buoyancy and performance underwater. It features a pre-installed WetLink Penetrator and comes with both clockwise and counterclockwise propellers, enhancing its versatility and ease of use in various configurations.
Note: Ensure proper handling and installation to maintain safety and performance standards.
