Sleipner launches Innovative New Products
The first step in Sleipner’s eVision has been to develop the first-ever electric motor designed particularly for marine thruster use.
Bettering the world’s best thrusters
The first step in Sleipner’s eVision has been to develop the first-ever electric motor designed particularly for marine thruster use.
After years of development, Sleipner have created these highly efficient, compact and lightweight electric motors rivalling the most cutting-edge machines used in the automotive industry today.
When combining Sleipner’s new, state-of-the-art electric motor with the proven Sleipner gearleg design and Q-Prop™ skew propeller, you get a thruster that delivers performance and runtime never seen before in a DC thruster.
The E-series comes with the proven quality and performance of Sleipner’s gearleg and propeller design. Sleipner has optimized their design through more than 300,000 thrusters delivered over the last 40 years.
Features:
- Up to 50 percent lighter
- Less noise
- More compact
- Splashproof
- Industry-leading runtimes
- Ignition protected
- Integrated inverter for variable speed control
- Retrofit options
- Made in Norway
Previous Sleipner thruster models can be upgraded with the new E-series electric motor either directly or by utilizing an adapter plate between the bracket and motor.
Electric Vector Fin Stabilisers
The 3rd generation Vector Fins™ are more efficient underway and at anchor. For faster boats the lift from the fins results in improved fuel efficiency compared to flat fins.
Sustainable elimination of roll
At anchor, Vector Fins™ typically double the stabilizing force per kW input, consuming much less energy to achieve the same stabilizing forces as flat fins, proving the system to be more efficient and, simultaneously, a more sustainable choice.
Curved patented design
Compared to flat fin stabilizers, the patented Vector Fins™ create lift while cruising, reducing the drag of the boat's hull, resulting in less fuel consumption and better top speed.
Quiet operation
The patented electric actuator isolates the moving, mechanical high-torque gears and motor from the boat reducing about 92% of structural born noise known to be a challenge for boat owners looking to stabilize their vessels overnight.
Easy retrofit
The compact actuator design is cleverly engineered around a frameless torque motor and harmonic drive strain wave gear. Easier installation with flange and bolt-lock.
