Detailed description

Designed for vessels 15 to 22 meters (50 to 70 feet), the Sleipner eVision E170 24 V tunnel thruster provides precise maneuvering and advanced features. This electric tunnel thruster delivers 170 kg of thrust with a 24 V DC motor, 7.3 kW (9.9 hp) power output, and 395 A current draw. Its tunnel diameter is 250 mm.

Advanced control and performance

The eVision E170 thruster integrates an inverter for variable speed control (PRO™ system), ensuring smooth and quiet maneuvering. The "Hold" function allows the boat to be held alongside the dock with a single press. Its 6-phase PMSM (brushless) synchronous motor is specifically designed for marine applications, contributing to high efficiency and extended autonomy at full thrust thanks to its active air-cooling system.

Design and integration

Equipped with dual counter-rotating five-blade skewed propellers (Q-Prop™), the Sleipner E170/250TC-24V reduces noise by 20 to 40% in real-world use and up to 75% in controlled tests while maintaining thrust performance. Its compact and lightweight design makes it up to 50% lighter and 40% smaller than previous Sleipner models, simplifying installation. The S-Link™ CAN-based control system ensures seamless integration with other Sleipner equipment via color-coded, waterproof connectors.

Reliability and marine safety

The thruster features ignition protection (compliant with ISO 8846) for safe operation in flammable gas environments. It includes overheat protection that reduces speed or shuts down the system to prevent damage. Galvanic isolation of underwater components protects against corrosion, and the drive lubrication system is sealed and filled for life with a mechanical seal. Installation is flexible, allowing various tunnel angles.

Expert opinion

« Sleipner eVision E170 24V: Control and quiet in docking »

The Sleipner eVision E170 24V thruster is an advanced maneuvering solution designed for vessels from 15 to 22 meters. Its architecture integrates a 6-phase synchronous PMSM (brushless) motor with an inverter, distinguishing it from traditional DC thrusters. This technology enables highly smooth variable speed control (PRO™), essential for delicate maneuvers, particularly in tight harbors or crosswind conditions. The "Hold" function provides a tactical advantage for docking with reduced crew by keeping the boat against the quay.

Integration of the S-Link™ system simplifies communication with other onboard components, streamlining wiring and setup. The compact and lightweight design (up to 50% lighter and 40% smaller than previous generations) offers greater installation flexibility in often cramped technical compartments. However, the system's complexity—particularly in sizing the battery and wiring, as well as selecting control accessories—requires prior study. It is critical to validate the installation and compatibility with the vessel's electrical architecture to optimize performance and long-term reliability.

The Q-Prop™ technology, featuring five skewed five-blade propellers, delivers significant noise reduction during operation, enhancing onboard comfort. Active motor cooling and sealed-for-life lubrication ensure durability and consistent performance, even under intensive use. This equipment is a strategic investment for owners seeking high-precision maneuvering assistance and reliable system integration.

Frequently Asked Questions

Need help? Contact us

What is the required tunnel diameter for installing the EVISION E170 thruster?

The tunnel diameter required for installing the EVISION E170 thruster is 250 mm. It is critical to ensure your vessel’s tunnel matches this specification for correct installation.

Does this thruster have variable speed control?

Yes, the EVISION E170 thruster integrates the PRO™ variable speed control function. This technology enables smooth, quiet, and precise maneuvering. It also includes a hold function for dual systems, allowing the boat to be gently held against the dock with a single button press.

Why is this thruster only available on request?

This thruster is offered only on quotation as it is a primary equipment requiring in-depth technical validation. This includes precise sizing tailored to your vessel, required voltage, optimal installation, and selection of necessary accessories to ensure maximum performance, safety, and integration.

Is the EVISION E170 thruster quiet?

Yes, the EVISION E170 thruster is designed to be quiet thanks to its Q-Prop™ five-blade skewed propeller. This design reduces noise by 20 to 40% in real-world installations and up to 75% in controlled tests, while maintaining or improving thrust performance.

What is the thrust power of the Sleipner EVISION E170 thruster?

The Sleipner EVISION E170 thruster provides a thrust power of 170 kg at 24 V. This performance ensures efficient maneuverability for your vessel.

What are the main safety features of the Sleipner EVISION E170 thruster?

The Sleipner EVISION E170 thruster integrates several advanced safety features:

Intelligent power control: Minimizes mechanical wear by ensuring minimal delay between direction changes and monitors solenoid performance. If a solenoid locks up, the thruster automatically stops. Overheat protection: Automatically detects high internal temperatures and shuts down the system before damage can occur, protecting the thruster. Secure start: Control panels require a two-button activation, preventing accidental starts. Galvanic isolation: All underwater components are electrically isolated from the onboard system to eliminate stray currents and prevent galvanic corrosion.
