Stabilising fins Horizontal fin stabilizers are typically housed in fin boxes mounted amidships, port and starboard. These structures rotate about a horizontal axis, generating lift to counter roll. On large vessels they are often retractable, folding into the hull to reduce drag during transit...
From tracking shots to visual effects-heavy sequences, ensuring precise, repeatable movement is the key focus for motion control designers and rig engineers. Linear sensors provide real-time position feedback, ensuring consistent control when moving a camera dolly, tilting a set piece, or operating...
With traditional potentiometers failing within days due to constant vibration, our customer, a manufacturer of waterjet propulsion systems, needed a more robust, long-term solution for accurate steering feedback. In just two weeks, we designed and manufactured a customised version of our...
Marine environments are among the toughest for any equipment. Constant vibration, continuous exposure to saltwater, wide temperature variations and potential impact or shock all combine to accelerate wear and increase the risk of failure. For engineers specifying components for critical systems -...
One of the biggest challenges for companies operating in hazardous environments across multiple regions is ensuring compliance with intrinsically safe certification standards. Different markets require different approvals, making it essential to choose sensors that meet the necessary safety...
Rotary actuators for control of the gate valve position Since manual intervention is impossible in deep-sea environments, subsea gate valves rely on rotary actuators for operation. These actuators convert energy into rotational motion, enabling the opening, closing or positioning of the valve....
