Thrust at 21/42V is printed equal to the thrust at 24/48V for every model. Bow units: L 285 mm and W 258 mm for all; water depth WD = tunnel ID. The E-series summary gives thrust up to 420 kg and tunnels up to 386 mm, but the tables list models up to E300/300TC. Stern-tunnel measurements (L, +L, WD, hull thickness) are on catalogue page 13.

Sleipner SAC – AC Thrusters

  • AC motors with variable frequency drives (VFD) for unlimited runtime on larger vessels; DNV type approved gearleg on the heavy-duty range.
  • Continuous thrust can be held indefinitely without the motor exceeding its temperature limit; maximum thrust (intermittent models only) is available for a limited period before the motor starts reducing performance. Weights exclude the VFD.

Thruster Features Explained

  • Sealed drive lubrication: factory-filled lifetime lubrication sealed with ceramic and carbon mechanical seals.
  • Gravity feed lubrication: an oil reservoir above the waterline feeds the gearleg, giving overpressure for water sealing and easy oil changes.
  • Overheat protection shuts the system off at high internal temperature; smart shut-off powers panels down after approximately six minutes of inactivity.
  • Galvanic separation: submerged parts electrically isolated from the onboard system. Ignition protection: certified to ISO 8846.
  • Q-Prop: five-bladed skewed propeller, 20-40% less noise in real installations (up to 75% in controlled tests); upgrade kits for most models.
  • PRO variable speed control with hold function for dual systems; S-Link CAN-based control with colour-coded waterproof connectors.
