![]() The T200 Thruster is used on a number of underwater ROVs, AUVs, and underwater drones including our flagship underwater ROV, the BlueROV2. ROV, AUV, and Underwater Drone Thruster Applications Check out the detailed performance charts on the Technical Details tab for more. It’s optimized to run at a voltage of 16v (such as a 4s lithium-ion battery pack), but can run at a range of voltages. A sensorless brushless electronic speed controller (ESC) like our Basic ESC is required to run the thruster in all situations. ![]() The core motor design is a three-phase brushless outrunner motor, similar to what you’d see on drones and RC airplanes, but optimized for underwater use. The design is compact and has a minimal number of parts so that we can offer it at an affordable price. It eliminates the need for shaft seals, magnetic couplings, and air- or oil-filled compartments, making the thruster naturally pressure tolerant. It allows the motor to be water-cooled and the plastic bushings to be water-lubricated. The fully-flooded design is unique compared to thrusters existing before the T200. The thruster body and propeller are made from tough polycarbonate plastic and the only exposed metal components are made from marine grade 316 stainless steel. The T200 Thruster uses our patented underwater thruster design consisting of a fully-flooded brushless motor with encapsulated motor windings and stator as well as coated magnets and rotor. Along with the T100 Thruster, it’s the first product we launched in our 2014 Kickstarter campaign! Since then, it’s become the most popular underwater thruster in the world and there are thousands of them powering all sorts of marine ROVs, AUVs, boats, and even human-carrying vehicles!
