Abstract

This paper presents a thruster using magnetic – coupling. This equipment is designed with module integration and engineered with separated systems from mechanical design, electrical systems and setup algorithm controlling motor. The design can let the thruster operate continuously during a long time at a depth of 100 meters. The main content of this paper is about stress simulation with a thickness of the hull, calculations of the allowable moment of the magnetic – coupling. In addition, some important designs of the thruster is introduced to improve experience and optimize the design. This paper also shows the experimental results of speed control of thruster using Proportional Integral Derivative (PID) method.
