Detailed description

Designed for vessels from 17 to 24 meters, the Sleipner eVision E240 48V 240 KG tunnel thruster delivers 240 kg of thrust at 48V. This tunnel thruster features a 6-phase permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) with an inverter for variable speed control and extended runtime. Its compact and lightweight design (37 kg) simplifies onboard integration and allows flexible installations, including angled setups.

Technology and performance

The eVision E240 thruster is equipped with the S-LINK™ control system, a CAN network that ensures reliable communication and simplified installation via compact, watertight connectors. The Q-Prop™ technology, featuring a five-blade skewed propeller, reduces noise by up to 75% in controlled environments while maintaining thrust performance. The PRO™ system enables variable speed control, adjusting power output to match maneuvering needs without the noise of standard on/off thrusters. It delivers 12.7 kW (17 hp) of power with a 330 A draw.

Advanced features and safety

This thruster includes a "Hold" function to keep the vessel docked with a single press, simplifying maneuvers with reduced crew. Features such as sealed gearbox lubrication, galvanic isolation, and ignition protection (ISO 8846) ensure durability and system safety. An automatic overheat shutdown stops the unit if excessive temperatures are detected. The unit is rated IPx7 and compatible with lithium batteries, provided the Power Proportional Control (PPC) unit uses firmware version 1.033 or later. The required tunnel diameter is 250 mm.

Expert opinion

« Technical analysis: Sleipner eVision E240 48V thruster for 17-24m vessels »

The Sleipner eVision E240 48V 240 kg thruster positions itself as a cutting-edge solution for 17–24 m vessels requiring precise manoeuvrability. Its design, centered on a 6-phase permanent-magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) with integrated inverter, is a major asset, delivering variable-speed control and optimized energy management. This architecture not only enables modulated power delivery—reducing noise and consumption—but also extends runtime thanks to improved thermal dissipation and automatic power adaptation.

The integration of the S-LINK™ control system streamlines installation and communication with other Sleipner equipment, a benefit for centralized control. The ‘Hold’ function is particularly relevant for reduced-crew harbour manoeuvres, turning a potentially complex operation into a simplified task. The 37 kg weight reduction and compact dimensions (motor height 427 mm, width 258 mm, length 285 mm) ease installation in tight spaces, including angled setups up to 30 degrees.

While the system is designed for ‘flexible’ installation, precise sizing, the 48 V voltage integration, and accessory validation require professional assessment. This is not a ‘plug-and-play’ unit but a system solution demanding expertise to ensure long-term performance and reliability, especially for compatibility with lithium battery banks. The choice of this model is justified by the pursuit of superior manoeuvring performance, acoustic discretion, and enhanced durability for large vessels.

Intelligent Power Control: Reduces mechanical wear and ensures solenoid performance monitoring.
Overheat Protection: Protects the thruster from excessive internal temperatures.
Galvanic Separation: Electrically isolates submerged components to prevent galvanic corrosion.
Sealed Drive Lubrication: Factory-sealed lifetime lubrication.
Q-prop™: Five-blade skewed propeller for significant noise reduction.
Safe Startup: Requires dual-button activation to prevent accidental starts.

Why is the Sleipner eVision E240 bow thruster offered only on request?

This thruster is offered only on a quote basis as it is a primary equipment requiring in-depth analysis. This ensures validation of the appropriate sizing, electrical voltage, optimal installation on the boat, as well as all necessary accessories to guarantee correct installation and maximum performance.

What is the S-Link™ control system and what are its benefits?

The S-Link™ control system is a communication technology based on the CAN (Controller Area Network) protocol developed by Sleipner. Its advantages include:

Simplified installation: Uses standardized connectors and cables, making wiring and configuration easier.Reliable communication: Ensures robust and fast interaction between the various components of the Sleipner system.Extensibility: Allows easy addition of other Sleipner equipment to the existing system.

What are the benefits of the Q-prop™ technology used in this thruster?

Q-prop™ technology from the Sleipner eVision E240 thruster uses a five-blade, skewed propeller. Its main benefits are:

Noise reduction: Decreases sound levels by 20 to 40% in real-world conditions, and up to 75% in controlled tests.Maintains or improves thrust: Ensures thrust performance remains optimal despite noise reduction.
