The Model 2216 Underwater Thruster with built-in bidirectional ESC is an advanced propulsion unit designed for ROVs and underwater robotics. Engineered for high thrust and efficient performance, it features a 350KV or 500KV motor housed in a corrosion-resistant epoxy-sealed aluminum casing. Capable of delivering up to 1.2kg thrust forward and 850g in reverse, this thruster supports bidirectional control via standard PWM (1000–2000µs) signals. Its compact form factor (73mm diameter, 112mm length) and compatibility with 3S–6S LiPo batteries make it highly suitable for a wide range of marine applications. With integrated ESC and dual propeller direction support (CW/CCW), the 2216 thruster ensures stable, reliable operation at depths of up to 200 meters. Featured By RoboticsBD.
