Vista, Calif. - Sept. 15, 2015. Remotely controlled underwater robots (ROVs) are continuously being developed to create many ROV applications at the detection level. The ROV of the detection stage is the smallest, most portable underwater robot, and it is also easy to deploy. They operate at less than 10 hp and use a compact propulsion motor directly attached to the propeller for positioning and navigation.
Current and upcoming ROV applications at the detection level include: search and rescue, maritime security, military, hydraulics, offshore oil drilling exploration and research. These applications require a low profile design with the ability to operate reliably underwater and occasionally in oil. In order to meet these requirements, BEI Kimco has developed several new types of brushless DC motors that not only meet the needs of ROVs at the detection level, but also provide high-efficiency and low-noise design structures. BEI Kimco can provide this unique market with a compact design, low power, packaged and non-packaged mechanical structure, customized motor with multiple voltage options, and extra low noise characteristics, which is very important for ROV applications. of.
“BEI Kimco has developed a motor within 10 hp needed for the detection class ROV,†said Walter Smith, application engineer/project manager at BEI Kimco. “We have worked with leading OEMs and other motor manufacturers to design some of the motor functionality. Important improvement "
BEI Kimco can also provide higher motor efficiency, which can be increased by 10% to 30% compared to the customer's previous situation. A more efficient motor can have the ability to support continuous duty cycles and extend battery life in remote applications. Through patented low magnetic circuit design technology, leading manufacturing process technology and expertise in material selection, BEI Kimco high-efficiency motors can achieve these capabilities and capabilities.
“We currently produce a range of ROV product solutions, from a single motor onto a large booster,†Smith added. “With the recent success of the project, we can expect to achieve significant growth in this fast-growing area.â€
