Thrusters, Motors
& Speed Controllers
The propulsion technology that powers thousands of ROVs, USVs and AUVs worldwide — from the legendary T200 to the high-thrust T500, with the M200 motor and matched ESCs to drive them.
The world's most popular ROV thruster
Born from a Kickstarter and now the propulsion choice for an entire industry, the T200 is a flooded-brushless thruster with no shaft seals to fail. Six of them drive the standard BlueROV2. It runs on 7–20 V and is rated to 300 m straight out of the box.
- Flooded brushless design — no shaft seals, no maintenance
- Drives on a Basic ESC with standard servo PWM signal
- Six in the standard BlueROV2, eight in Heavy Configuration
Three times the thrust, same proven design
When the T200 isn't enough, the T500 delivers up to 16.1 kgf — roughly triple — for larger ROVs, AUVs and heavy-payload vehicles. It shares the T200's rugged flooded-brushless architecture and 300 m rating, paired with the higher-current Basic ESC 500.
- For larger ROVs, AUVs and heavy-lift platforms
- Requires the Basic ESC 500 (70 A continuous)
- 7–24 V operating range, 9.3 kgf even at 16 V
The motor for surface craft — and the drive electronics
The M200 shares the T200's motor without the thruster nozzle, with a shorter cable and MT60 connector — it's the motor behind the BlueBoat's weedless drive. Every thruster needs an electronic speed controller: the Basic ESC (30 A) for the T200/M200, and the Basic ESC 500 (70 A) for the T500. Both take a standard servo PWM signal and run cleanly under ArduSub / ArduRover on BlueOS.
- M200 — saltwater-rated brushless motor for the BlueBoat
- Basic ESC — 30 A continuous, standard PWM, for T200/M200
- Basic ESC 500 — 70 A continuous, required for any T500 build
- Native to the BlueOS / ArduPilot control stack
