 Heavy Duty Dynamic Shockabsorber

DNV and BUREAU VERITAS approved shockabsorbers for paravanwinches.

Vestdavit supplies hydraulic shockabsorbers for wire systems exposed to shock tensions. The shockabsorbers have been used on rescue boat davits for more than 15 years, and similar shockabsorbers have been installed on ship cranes.

Larger shockabsorbers from Vestdavit have been installed on several seismic vessels to reduce the shock in the wide tow wires. These shockabsorbers are designed for wire pull of up to 80 tons on wire.

  • Optional equipment : Instruments for loadsensing and length measuring. (Load cells) Shut off valve, to deactivate shockabsorber. Also remote controlled (driven by accumulator energy). Gas booster system, to adjust stiffness on shockabsorber (driven by ship's air).
