Operating at 24V, this thruster delivers 6 kW (8 Hp) of power and provides a nominal thrust of 120 kg, reaching 180 kg in performance thrust. Its nominal current draw is 2 x 175A.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDesign and performance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n    The \u003cstrong\u003eEX180D\u003c\/strong\u003e stands out for its external mounting design, offering an alternative when internal space is limited or draft is shallow, avoiding the constraints of a tunnel installation. This configuration delivers superior efficiency, up to 40% higher than conventional systems, by being mounted further forward on the bow, increasing the lever arm and preventing propeller ventilation. Its hydrodynamic design reduces water resistance and optimizes flow.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eConstruction and features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n    The \u003cstrong\u003eEX180D\u003c\/strong\u003e is built with a robust aluminum housing, specially treated to resist seawater and prevent redox corrosion. The adapter is made of hard rubber, optimizing flow and ensuring secure mounting. The twin-propeller propulsion system delivers increased thrust for a given diameter. It is equipped with electric motors and 3-blade vector propellers. The Intelligent Power Control (IPC) system minimizes delays between direction changes and monitors solenoids, stopping the thruster in case of blockage. Overheat protection stops or reduces thruster power in case of high internal temperatures. The gearcase lubrication is sealed for life, with a ceramic and carbon mechanical seal to prevent water ingress. Its water-cooled, submerged motor reduces noise and extends operational lifespan.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eInstallation and versatility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n    The one-piece design of the \u003cstrong\u003eSleipner EX180D\u003c\/strong\u003e thruster simplifies installation, requiring only three small holes and eliminating the need for lamination. It is adaptable to various hull shapes, materials, propulsion methods, and depths, and can be mounted at the bow and\/or stern of the boat. The internal tunnel diameter is 150 mm, with a minimum depth of 150 mm at the top of the thruster and 240 mm at the center.\n\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sleipner","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56539946320212,"sku":"EX180D","price":10262.82,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0988\/3274\/4788\/files\/sleipner-ex180d-1-3200.jpg?v=1784737686","url":"https:\/\/skysat.fr\/en\/products\/sleipner-external-thruster-ex180d-120-180kg-24v","provider":"Skysat","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
