DISKDRIVE™ 50

DISKDRIVE™ 50 is Hydromea's smaller direct-drive underwater thruster for smaller ROV, AUV and deep-sea actuators. DISKDRIVE™ thrusters are ultra-slim, rim-driven and brushless, with a hubless propeller that prevents tangling in debris such as plants or ropes. The patented, pressure-proof, oil-free design has no seals and allows propeller swaps in under 10 seconds without special tools.

The symmetrical design delivers equal thrust in both directions and is compatible with various electronic speed controllers. Thanks to its hydro-lubricated construction, the DISKDRIVE™ 50 ran continuously for over 7,000 hours and completed 1.2 million directional reversals within 1,000 hours in endurance tests. It ships with clockwise and counterclockwise propellers; optional ducts, mounting bracket/thrust kit, spare propellers and magnet rings are available. Deep-rated DISKDRIVE thrusters withstood 600 bar in lab tests.
