SE50 TUNNEL THRUSTER (12V, 50KG)
Overview
SE50 Tunnel thruster, 12V 50kg thrust On/Off
Yet another tunnel diameter in our world leading range of DC thrusters are now available. The new SE50/140S delivers an actual thrust of 50 kg at 10.5 V in a 140 mm tunnel diameter.
Please note that the SE50 wil not be available for stern installation. Please consider SE40, SE60 or EX Compact as good alternatives.
Features are similar to the SE60, except that SE50 incorporates a flexible couplling and are therefore also galvanic insulated.
Properties
FLEXIBLE INSTALLATION
Sleipner offers installation flexibility to work with the space you have. Our thruster models allow installation at any angle on the tunnel, tailored to fit any space available in your vessel.
DC
Powered by direct current.
ANALOG
Sleipner analog signal cables with Plug & Play connectors are color-coded to match the wiring diagrams with high-quality connectors to ensure a correct installation.
OVERHEAT PROTECTION
Automatic detection of overheating of internal components. When an unsafe temperature is detected, the unit is automatically shut off to prevent overheating.
GALVANIC SEPARATION
Immersed parts exposed to seawater are galvanic isolated from the onboard electrical system, eliminating stray currents.
SEALED DRIVE LUBRICATION
The thruster gearleg is pre-filled for lifetime lubrication and sealed using a long-time mechanical seal with ceramic and carbon surfaces for ultimate security against water intrusion.
SINGLE PROPELLER
A properly engineered single propeller system will be the most energy efficient thruster. Its compact design fits easily into narrow bows making it the perfect match for our smaller thruster range. With more than 60.000 single propeller thrusters in use, the single propeller has proven its reliability.
Q-PROP™
The Q-PROP™ has measured noise reductions of up to 75% in controlled environments. The five-bladed skew propeller reduces noise levels while maintaining exceptional efficiency. Some thruster models even see an increase in thrust power.
- The expected noise reduction in average installations: 20-40%
- Upgrade kits are available for most Sleipner thruster models with special adaptors
INTELLIGENT POWER CONTROL
Sleipner's patented intelligent power control provides a minimal delay between drive directions to reduce wear of the mechanical parts while monitoring solenoid functions. In the case of a solenoid lock-in, the thruster will automatically stop without extra user action or controlling the main switch.
