Knowledge — Underwater Thruster

In recent years, an increasing number of universities worldwide have invested in the independent research and development of ROVs (Return-on-Vehicles). From engineering and marine colleges to laboratory teams, various universities are establishing ROV projects for marine exploration, scientific research, technical teaching, and competitions. So, why are universities increasingly inclined to build their own ROVs instead of purchasing off-the-shelf equipment? This article breaks down the reasons in detail and includes a recommendation of suitable thruster models for university laboratories at the end. I. Why are universities starting to develop their own ROVs? 1. Lower R&D costs and greater controllability through self-developmentIn...

APISQUEEN introduces the new U35 underwater thruster – a high-performance, corrosion-resistant power unit designed specifically for ships and underwater equipment. This device boasts a maximum thrust of 39 kg, is constructed from durable aluminum, and possesses excellent corrosion resistance, maintaining superior performance in both freshwater and seawater environments. 1. Powerful Output and Stable Performance The U35 thruster utilizes a high-efficiency motor, supporting 24V/36V/48V voltage inputs. Its peak power reaches 2500W, with a continuous power of 2000W (48V), providing smooth and stable propulsion performance even under strong currents or harsh operating conditions. U35 Test Data Overview All test data were obtained...
