MODEL 300
DESCRIPTION

00
MAGNETIC PROPELLER COUPLING
As with all Tecnadyne thrusters, the propeller of the Model 300 is magnetically
coupled. With this design, a magnet array is fitted inside the hub of the propeller; this
magnet array is driven by a matching magnet array attached to the motor inside the
sealed pressure vessel. By eliminating the rotating drive shaft and shaft seals that
always seem to leak over time, the Model 300 achieves extremely high reliability.
Additionally, the magnetic coupling will ratchet if overloaded, preventing damage
caused by objects jammed in the propeller. Since the water lubricated propeller
bearings are external to the pressure housing, they can be easily replaced in a matter
of minutes.

HIGH POWER RPM MOTOR & PLANETARY GEARBOX

The Model 300 uses DC brushless motors that are manufactured to the ISO
9001:2015 quality standard. These high RPM, low inertia motors are coupled to 6/1
ratio planetary gearset, assembled using hardened, high precision spur gears. This
motor/gearbox combination delivers maximum reliability and power in an extremely
DEPTH RATING OPTIONS
The standard configuration is rated to 850m depth and places the electronics
controller within the 1-atmosphere motor housing. An extra cost option, using
titanium pressure components, is rated to 1,500m using self-contained electronics
in the motor’s 1-atmosphere housing. For full ocean depth rating, the electronics
module is installed in a remote, one atmosphere housing (either the customer’s
housing or one supplied by Tecnadyne) The thruster is oil filled and pressure
balanced using electrical cabling of flexible PVC tubing.

VOLTAGES SUPPORTED
The Model 300 is available for operation at voltages from 24 VDC up to 260 VDC. DC
power must be supplied by a well filtered battery bank, rectified and filtered AC or
a regulated DC power supply with less than 10% voltage ripple.

compact, light weight, and easy to maintain package.

HIGH POWER DENSITY PROPELLER & NOZZLE ANALOG SPEED CONTROL

The Model 300 comes standard with investment cast stainless steel propellers and The Model 300 controller accepts a +/-5v analog speed and direction control signal
these are available in either right hand or left hand rotation. The propeller operates that can be supplied by a computer with D/A card or a simple joystick. In addition,
in a Nylon 6/6 Kort nozzle for maximum thrust and efficiency. the thruster can be supplied with a separate digital speed feedback signal.

OTHER OPTIONS
Optional configurations include: the 8 available buss voltage choices perviously mentioned; housings made from hard anodized aluminum (standard), Type 316 stainless or 6AI4V
titanium;several bulkhead type or cable end subsea connectors; and RH or LH rotation propellers. Custom propellers and Kort nozzles can be developed to suite specific operating
requirements. Please note that the speficiations are subject to change without notice. Additonally, Model 300 thrusters for operation to depths greater than 1,000 meters are
subject to U.S Government export controls.
