New Mega Battery from Blue Robotics
Blue Robotics has just launched a new Lithium-ion Mega Battery (22.2 V, 28 Ah), a high-capacity battery designed specifically for use on vehicles powered by the T500 Thruster. Things to note – this new battery fits inside a 4″ series Enclosure tube (not the 3″ enclosure) and ships as dangerous / hazardous goods cargo (not on passenger aircraft).
New Underwater Servos by Blue Trail Engineering
We are excited to announce Blue Trail Engineering has released a new SER-20XX series of underwater servos , depth-rated to 200 meters, offering increased mounting flexibility, and are optionally available as a kit.
Machined enclosure instead of injection-molded, meaning: walls are thicker, making the unit more durable and giving an increased depth rating of 200 meters; surface finish is smoother and tolerances are tighter, making the O-ring seals more reliable, and; external surfaces are flat for easier mounting from either the side or the top
6-mm “D-shaft” output shaft instead of a square shaft, making it easier to attach to your device using a simple set screw
Available kit option, made possible by an easier assembly process. The usual pre-assembled and tested versions will still be available.
