New RIM Drive Outboard 8.0 – Electric Outboard Motors

RIM Drive Technology Outboard 8.0

Maritime POD – Motor

There are good reasons to select an electric motor for your application, but there are many reasons to select a Rim Drive Technology motor over combustion or another electric motor. A Rim Drive motor has an immediate acceleration response. Uniquely combined with the stepless control system, it provides you with the highest feeling of maneuverability. Almost every alternative competitive motor has a central axis, which is very sensitive to ropes, weeds and fishing nets. The fact of not having a center axis limits the chance of materials getting stuck in the propeller. These motors can produce high torque, a valued feature among the owners of heavier boats. Due to its compact and lightweight design, it is possible to install it in the smallest compartments. During the design phase, they have set goals to minimize installation and service costs for their users. By having just one rotating part, they have achieved minimized maintenance costs. On the other hand, they succeeded in replacing an anode or propeller within less than two minutes. All their products are saltwater resistant to ensure ease of installation for every boat owner. In addition to this, all motors are certified with an IP68 rating.

Why Rim Drive Technology?

Rim Drive Technology was founded in 2019 and is located in the Netherland. They develop and manufacture electric motors from 0.5 to 50kW for industrial, commercial and subsea applications. In order to provide customers the perfect fit for their application They realized highly configurable products which can be used for many applications. As a propulsion motor they offer the following configurations up to 50kW: POD, bow thruster, steerable POD and outboard. Quality is their top priority. In order to guarantee the quality of their products, their production is located in the Netherlands. They strive to achieve their production process constant to complete quality control. Not only is the production quality higher here, the monitoring of the quality is also a lot easier. In addition, more companies are asking for sustainably produced products. The production and development of products in the Netherlands has a demonstrably lower environmental impact.

Rim Drive Technology believes in offering the total solution for every client within every market: from electric motor to battery, from throttle control to battery monitor. A rim drive motor has some specific advantages in comparison to other (electric) motors:

– Very little chance to seize your propeller due to axle less design

– No wear parts within the motor design

– Completely water lubricated

– No oil used anywhere within the motor

– Minimal dimensions
