DC Electric thrusters
To enable the most safe and easy installation as well as the best
possible performance for a variety of boats and usages, Side-Power
thrusters are offered in several versions to satisfy all requirements.
SE & EB series tunnel thrusters
The standard bow and stern thruster series are the base for all our extensive
range of DC electric thrusters. They are fitted in a tunnel through the bow, or
into our stern tunnels to use as stern thrusters. The electric motors, solenoids,
patented IPC control system and the mechanical parts of the propulsion system
are all totally custom designed and built, utilizing the extensive experience
gained through years of leadership in the global thruster market.
IP versions for demanding environments
The IP – ignition protected – versions are equipped with a hermetically sealed
cover around the motor and switch gear. This means that it is safe to use in
gasoline boats or other areas where there is a risk of explosive fumes as well as
excellent for installation in wet areas (not for submerged installation). Can be
used for both bow or stern applications. Most models in both the SE and SEP
series are available in IP versions.
SR series retractable thrusters
Our retractable thrusters are excellent for use as bow or stern thrusters in boats
with shallow or flat bottomed hulls, or where a tunnel opening in the hull at all
is not desirable. Designed in true Side-Power spirit with reliability and durability
as main factors, they are exceptionally sturdy and compact with the same high
performance as all other Side-Power thrusters. Unique advantages by use of
the latest technology including our S-link intelligent bus control provides a further
benefit in use and control for the operator. Available also as speed control
versions with the designation SRP.
EX and SX series externally fitted thrusters
Side-Power offer an extensive program of externally fitted thrusters. The EX and
SX series is a practical and efficient solution for those who cannot fit a tunnel
thruster, or as an externally mounted stern thruster. Exceptionally easy installation
is a bonus with the EX and SX thrusters.
PRO series speed controlled thrusters
The PRO series are basically standard thrusters with the addition of the PRO
Proportional system. Providing even more accurate control by fully regulating
the power of the thruster as well as providing even longer run times, this is the
latest in DC electric thrusters. The noise reduction and automatic ”Hold” function
are further benefits provided by the PRO series.
