The Underwater Thruster for ROV/AUV Boats, 5kg Thrust, Ducted Propeller is a ducted underwater thruster: the propeller spins inside a short protective duct, driven by a sealed motor pod, with the power cable leaving through a moulded, waterproof gland. The duct guards the blades against lines, debris and contact, while the hydrodynamic ring recovers tip losses for efficient, quiet thrust on ROVs, AUVs and surface boats.

Structure & Sealing
The propeller and shaft run in a sealed motor pod; the duct is a one-piece moulded or spun ring closed over the pod with a bolted flange, so the whole drive unit can be opened for service. The power lead exits through a moulded gland bonded to the pod wall, keeping the seal at the jacket rather than around the connector.
Applications
- ROV/AUV main and auxiliary propulsion
- Surface boat and USV drives
- Station-keeping and attitude control for subsea platforms
