Product catalog summary
Overview
Sub-Atlantic hydraulic thrusters are designed for reliability and efficiency, featuring a rugged, lightweight construction and a ceramic shaft sealing system. These thrusters provide nearly equal forward and reverse thrust efficiency within a 5% band, ensuring optimal performance for ROVs and cable maintenance vehicles.

Specifications
The thrusters are available in four standard propeller sizes: SA300, SA380, SA420, and SA500, with motor sizes ranging from 20cc to 119cc. The common motor/thruster interface allows for easy interchangeability to match vehicle hydraulic system parameters.

Performance and Testing
Sub-Atlantic ensures the reliability of their thrusters by having performance data witnessed by DNV, a reputable third-party certification organization. This commitment provides assurance of the thrusters' performance.

Innovative Features
The thrusters incorporate a ceramic wear ring technology for durable shaft sealing, a quick-change seal carrier to minimize downtime, and easy air bleeding with specially located bleed screws.

Options and Customization
Various options for motor displacement, propeller size, and mounting style are available. Custom solutions can be provided to meet specific customer requirements.

Additional Components
Sub-Atlantic also offers hydraulic power units (HPUs), thruster control packs, and compensators to complete the propulsion system.

Model Specifications
Each model has specific weight characteristics in air and water, with detailed drawings available for precise specifications. For example, the SA-300 model weighs 17.4 kg in air and 9.8 kg in water.

Documentation
The 'Hydraulic Propulsion Selection Manual for Engineers' is available for download, providing extensive data for selecting the appropriate thruster system.

Hydraulic Thrusters Data Sheet-1

Hydraulic Thrusters Sub-Atlantic's range of hydraulic thrusters. have become the preferred propulsion for ROVs vehicles. Working in a highly aggressive environment,they have earned a reputation exceptional performance. Proven Reliability - Low Parts Usage Forward/Reverse Thrust within 5% band Quick-Change Seal Cartridge Reliable Ceramic Sealing Surfaces DNVWitnessed Performance Easily Retro-Fittable 4 Standard Propeller Sizes Various Interchangeable Motor Options New! Thruster Guards Available Sub-Atlantic hydraulic thrusters are reliable due to a rugged, lightweight contruction and a ceramic shaft sealing system. These thrusters also benefit from producing near equal forward/reverse efficiency within a 5% band. The data from our performance testing has been witnessed by DNV to ensure your system design performs exactly as expected. These thrusters also benefit from the ability to fit any motor displacement size to any of the four thruster sizes due to the common, one-size motor/thruster interface. This is advantageous when accuratly matching to vehicle hydraulic system parameters.

Available Sizes Standard range is available in four propeller sizes, SA300, SA380, SA420 & SA500, the designation represents the diameter of the propeller in millimetres. Standard motor sizes are 20, 30, 41, 61, 103 and 119 cc. Our hydraulic motors all have identical mounting interfaces to the thruster body, no matter the motor displacement. This makes them particularly suitable for interchanging with different propeller sizes to obtain higher running efficiencies. For example, in an application where limited hydraulic power and oil ow is available but maximum thrust is required, an SA-380 thruster...
