Side-Power is the product group brand name for Sleipner Motor, a Norwegian company that has been manufacturing marine products for over 100 years. While the first 75 years was limited to supplying propulsion and steering products to the Scandinavian markets, Sleipner have over the last 25 years become not only a strong, but the leading supplier of thruster systems globally to pleasure craft and commercial vessels up to about 30m. The reasons for the Side-Power success is a mixture of all factors that makes customers choose one brand or product over another, but there are some areas that we...

Thnuster Systems The leading position of Side-Power thrusters is a clear result of focus on the products performance, functionality and reliability. For many years Side-Power has been the brand that others are trying to copy, but through extensive investments in product development, we have remained ahead of the Over the last 9 years we have evolved into the Superyacht and commercial sectors with the SP550 thruster and gained the necessary experience to know how to satisfy these markets. One point that perhaps makes us a little different from many of the traditional suppliers to the...

Stabilizer Systems Stabilizer systems have been around for a long time, but typically only used on larger passenger ships and super yachts. However, the dramatically increased comfort and usability of any boat have made owners of also smaller leisure vessels wish for this. Drawing on the long-time experiences with advanced hydraulic systems, Side-Power have taken the same approach to developing and building stabilizer systems as with the other product groups - focusing on safety and realibility, practical functions and features whilst still planning for efficient production to keep the...

Steering Systems In addition to traditional hydraulic steering systems and electro-hydraulic power steering systems, Side-Power has also developed a Superyacht-specific steering system. While designing this, we have been able to draw from almost 100 years of experience with steering systems, and from our extensive knowledge on hydraulic systems. The Side-Power Superyacht Steering is a RINA-classed system which fills all demands to a commercial grade steering system. The Superyacht steering control system is a "fly-by-wire" system based around the same S-link bus as the Thruster and...

Control System Integration with S-l The thruster systems, stabilizer systems and steering systems from Side-Power shares a common control system - the S-link™ system S-link is a "CAN" based control system with full intelligent communication between all units in the system, much like a computer network. One major benefit with the S-link system is that it is shared between the thruster, stabilizer and steering systems. This is a distinct advantage regarding the control cable installation as well as regarding reliability and security. A common two-way digital control systems also opens for...
