Electric actuator kit for Vector Fins™ V3-700/V3-900 48V
estimated availability Q2-2024
-
S-LINK™
S-Link™ is a CAN-based control system used for communication between Sleipner products installed on a vessel.
- Compact and waterproof plugs
- Keyed and color-coded connectors to ensure correct and easy installation
- Different cable lengths, extenders and T-connectors makes the system scalable and flexible to install
-
ANY SPEED
Vector Fins™ is the only top-performing stabilizer system for both cruising and at anchor use. The fins’ concave shape creates multilateral force direction improving the stationary positioning of a vessel while at anchor. The uniqueness of the design also becomes evident while underway as it improves in effectiveness as speed increases. Sea trials have proven that Vector Fins™ are up to 50% more efficient at anchor and capable of reducing the uncomfortable rolling motions of the vessel by up to 95% while cruising.
-
PATENTED DESIGN
Sleipner continually reinvests in developing and offering the latest technology in marine advancements. Patented products are revolutionary one-of-a-kind designs available and sold exclusively by Sleipner.
-
360° INSTALLATION
Designed to fit in small and challenging installation areas, the Vector Fins™ unique cone shaft design allows you to utilize the space onboard to install the actuators in any direction and insert the fins into the position you require.
-
GALVANIC SEPARATION
Immersed parts exposed to seawater are galvanic isolated from the onboard electrical system, eliminating stray currents.
Item code: SPS50E-48V
The SPS50E can be paired with the V3-700 or V3-900 Vector Fins, typically suitable for 45-70 feet yachts.

Sleipner electric actuators for Vector Fins
The compact design of the actuator is cleverly engineered around a frameless torque
motor and a Harmonic Drive strain wave gear. A combination of aluminum, composite, and
stainless-steel materials for minimal weight and maximum life expectancy. The gear type
is chosen considering the extreme loads fins might get in heavy seas and have safety
factors and features way above the gear types typically used in electric actuators.
Key features actuator
- Instant on by the press of a button - no start-up period
- Lightweight and compact construction
- Ultra-responsive and energy-efficient brushless motor
- Galvanically isolated design for easy installation in metal hulls
- 24/48V
- 230/400Volt – 1 and 3 phase
Patented solution for noise cancellation
Another focus has been on noise reduction through its development, resulting in a patented
solution reducing 92% of the structural born noise from the actuator.
Another benefit is that it reduces peak stress loads on the gears and the hull.
Serviceability
- Most parts can be changed on the water
- The motor unit can be removed from the base flange in about an hour of work
- Integrated lifting points
- Lightweight aluminium construction
Stabilization panel and software
- Modern touchscreen display prepared for flush installation
- Possibility for remote diagnostics and service through onboard Wi-Fi
- Rudder, gearbox, and GPS input for more responsive stabilization
- Controls up to four fins for larger yachts
- Optional integration with MFD’s (accessory)
Features
- Dock mode: turn the fin stroke angle more towards the keel when docking longside
- Eco mode: limit power consumption to extend operation time from the battery bank
- DP mode: Analyses gearbox, GPS, and compass heading when operating in Dynamic Position mode to avoid fin lock while reversing at low speed

A legacy that commits
We’ve lived and worked with the unruly sea for a hundred years. That’s why we develop important features that enables a boat to handle the sea better – that enable you to enjoy your boat, at anchor and at full speed. That is why you wanted a boat, isn’t it?
-
Beautiful engineering
The technology in our solutions is world-class. We know, because we’ve developed it ourselves, just as we manufacture every solution, and follow them until their fixed to a hull, ourselves. This meticulous attention to detail is why your day out always will be better with a Sleipner aboard.
-
Worldwide service
We take pride in our solutions’ function throughout their lifespan. So, we never really let them out of sight, even when they’ve left for distant shores. Our global network is there to ensure continuous optimal function. You know what you get with a Sleipner, today and tomorrow.
