CubeMars SW17

The SW17 is the highest-thrust model in the series, developed for mid-size unmanned marine vehicles and electric water sports. Its precision cast aluminum housing combines light weight and strength.

Key features

• At least 17 kgf of static thrust. The highest thrust in the series.
• 870 W continuous power. The power it can deliver without derating in long operation.
• Operating depth of 0 to 30 meters. Optimized for shallow-water operations.
• Dual-chamber sealing. Together with a low-friction dynamic shaft seal it keeps sand and salt out.
• High thermal conductivity potting. Carries heat to the housing and lowers the risk of overheating.
• 1.5 meter TPU cable. Comes with a rugged Ø8 mm cable with 3 x 16 AWG conductors.

Applications

Typical applications include mid-size unmanned surface vehicles, electric surf and e-foil solutions, handheld underwater thrusters and compact marine automation.

Is it enough for your project?

The SW17 is the most powerful underwater thruster in the series, with at least 17 kgf of static (bollard) thrust. This value is measured with the thruster stationary, and thrust drops as the vehicle speeds up. When choosing a thruster, take into account the water resistance at the vehicle's target speed. Using two SW17 units together gives at least 34 kgf of static thrust in total.

It runs at 48 V with 870 W of continuous power. It weighs 1,350 g in air and 775 g in water. It suits unmanned marine vehicles that carry heavy loads, electric surfboards and e-foil solutions. It can be used at depths between 0 and 30 meters.

How it compares to similar models

• SW12. With the same 106 mm propeller it delivers at least 12 kgf of static thrust and 520 W of power. It weighs 1,180 g.
• SW7. Delivers at least 7 kgf of static thrust and 360 W of power, and runs on 36 V. At 700 g it is designed for small platforms.

Frequently asked questions

Is the driver included?

No. The thruster runs with an external ESC. CubeMars recommends the TW-80A-12S ESC for this model.

What voltage does it run on?

The rated voltage is 48 V. 12-cell lithium battery packs fall in this voltage range.

How large is the propeller?

106 mm. The propeller is aluminum alloy and the nozzle is POM.

Does it need maintenance after use?

Especially after use in seawater, rinse the thruster with fresh water. The operating temperature is 0 to 40 °C.
