Available Sizes ■ Standard range is available in four millimetres. Standard motor sizes 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 flow is available but maximum thrust is required, an SA-380 thruster (which normally uses a 40cc motor) can be simply fitted with a 30cc motor using the larger propeller, increased efficiency can...
