{"product_id":"t500-thruster","title":"T500 Thruster","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe T500 Thruster is our next-generation thruster with over three times as much thrust as the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/t200-thruster-r2-rp\"\u003eT200 Thruster\u003c\/a\u003e. We designed it for high-power ROVs, surface vessels, and AUVs, as well as human-carrying applications like kayaks. It’s carefully designed to be rugged, powerful, and flexible in many applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe T500 is designed to achieve its maximum performance of 16.1 kgf (35.5 lb) of thrust at an operating voltage of 24V and power consumption of just over 1 kW. That said, it also operates well at 16V, the voltage of our BlueROV2 and \u003ca href=\"\/products\/battery-li-4s-18ah-r3\"\u003elithium-ion battery\u003c\/a\u003e. At 16V, it consumes a similar amount of power to the T200 Thruster, but is more efficient and generates 70% more thrust.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/HBTDM1svHG4?feature=oembed\" allowfullscreen\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\n\u003cfigure\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1017\/5745\/2662\/files\/t500-t200-thrusters.jpg\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003cfigcaption\u003eThe T500 Thruster compared to the T200 Thruster.

It has an encapsulated stator and motor windings, a ruggedized and corrosion resistant magnet rotor, and high-performance plastic bearings. The body and propeller are made from impact resistant glass-filled polycarbonate plastic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe T500 Thruster is a three-phase sensorless brushless motor and requires an electronic speed controller (ESC) for operation. We recommend the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/besc500\"\u003eBasic ESC 500\u003c\/a\u003e, which is designed for the high-power requirements of the T500 running at 24V, however, if you’re operating at 18V or less, you may also use the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/besc30-r3\"\u003eoriginal Basic ESC\u003c\/a\u003e without any reduction in performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDesigned and Tested for Reliability\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe T500 Thruster was designed with an emphasis on reliability and robustness in challenging applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe magnet rotor is significantly improved over that in the T200 Thruster. The rotor has rugged construction with high-performance N52 neodymium magnets, protected by a metal abrasion shield lining the inside of the rotor. This prevents the magnets from being damaged due to debris or sand in the thruster.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA new overlapping design between elements of the propeller, base, and tail cone minimize the chance of particulate, sand, or seaweed entering and jamming the thruster.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe validated the T500 through hundreds of hours of testing under extreme conditions. We pushed our test units through thousands of cycles, hot and cold temperatures, and extreme pressures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cfigure\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1017\/5745\/2662\/files\/t500-rotor-1.jpg\" alt=\"t500 rotor\"\u003e\u003cfigcaption\u003eThe T500 magnet rotor has a metal abrasion shield to protect the magnets.\u003c\/figcaption\u003e\n\u003c\/figure\u003e\n\u003cfigure\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1017\/5745\/2662\/files\/jm-hd3-pipe-tracker.jpg\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003cfigcaption\u003eJM Robotics HD3 ROV with T500 Thrusters and pipe tracker\u003c\/figcaption\u003e\n\u003c\/figure\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eEasy to Integrate\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe T500 Thruster is intended to be integrated into a wide range of different applications with ease. The nozzle includes four M4 mounting screws and can be attached to ROV frames, boat hulls, or just about anything!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt comes with a 1.5 m (59 in) cable with a pre-installed \u003ca href=\"\/products\/wlp-vp\"\u003eWetLink Penetrator\u003c\/a\u003e to make it easy to connect to a watertight enclosure or other housing. The penetrator has an M14 thread size and requires larger holes than we have on most of our watertight enclosure end caps. Several new end caps will be available soon to accommodate the M14 thread size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDiving In\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe T500 Thruster comes ready to use and includes both clockwise and counterclockwise propellers. In addition to the thruster, you need a speed controller like the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/besc500\"\u003eBasic ESC 500\u003c\/a\u003e, a power source like our \u003ca href=\"\/products\/battery-li-4s-15-6ah\"\u003ebattery\u003c\/a\u003e, and a signal source, such as our \u003ca href=\"\/products\/cmdr-r1-rp\"\u003eThruster Commander\u003c\/a\u003e, an RC radio receiver, or a microcontroller like the Arduino or Raspberry Pi.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is a wealth of available technical information, charts, code examples, and tutorials on the Technical Details and Guides sections of this page as well as support through our online forum community.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith more thrust, there are more possibilities!
