Energy guidance systems for retractable thrusters

Retractable thrusters are used as primary propulsion systems or for dynamically positioning working vessels such as pipe-layers. While they are being extended and retracted from the ship's hull, some have to be fed with hydraulics or water and, above all, with motor cables. To guide the cables safely, we have energy chains in our product range that are ideal for this purpose thanks to their robust plastic material and space-saving design. They are resistant to salt water, oil and UV light and are superior to steel energy chains due to their comparatively low weight and corrosion resistance.

In addition to individual energy chains and a variety of cables certified for offshore use, we also offer harnessed energy chains. Equipped with cables and connectors, they reduce installation and assembly time.

Whether a conversion or new installation: we offer customised special solutions for challenging applications worldwide - from the initial sketch to commissioning on site.
