Product Description
The T500 Thruster is our next-generation thruster with over three times as much thrust as the T200 Thruster. 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.
The 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 lithium-ion battery. At 16V, it consumes a similar amount of power to the T200 Thruster, but is more efficient and generates 70% more thrust.

* All performance and electrical values are typical but may vary by about ±6% between units.
* The T500 thruster has a maximum operating voltage of 24 V. Full thrust operation using a lithium-ion polymer battery (maximum). Continuous full throttle use should be limited to 1 minute or less when the T500 operates at 24 V with a fully charged lithium-ion polymer battery to avoid overheating the thruster.
For more detailed performance specs, including thrust, RPM, power, and efficiency at various throttle levels and supply voltages, refer to the performance charts below.
