Seakeeper battery-powered gyro
DC-powered gyro for boats from 9-12m in lengthSeakeeper, a leading player in marine stabilisation, has developed its first DC-powered gyro.
Engineered for boats 9m–12m in length, the state-of-the-art Seakeeper 3DC is said to reduce resonant roll by up to 95 per cent in a wide range of sea conditions.
It is now possible to achieve a safe, stable and comfortable platform on the water, while underway or at rest, without the need for a generator.
Based on the company's widely-popular Seakeeper 5, the Seakeeper 3DC shares the same small footprint of 0.765m L x 0.757m W x 0.628m H and weight of 358kg.
The unit has a modest electrical draw of between 500–1000 watts depending on sea state.
Seakeeper in the USA is currently taking orders, with shipments beginning in June.
Like all the company's gyros, the leading-edge Seakeeper 3DC requires no speed-robbing external appendages and is virtually silent. It can be installed off centerline if needed, offering great flexibility for both new builds and refits.
"At Seakeeper, we pride ourselves in listening to the demands of the market," said Andrew Semprevivo, Seakeeper VP of sales and marketing. "We're excited to launch the first DC-powered stabilisation system for boats in this size class."
More than 2,400 Seakeepers gyros have been installed worldwide. The completely scalable technology stabilises vessels from 9m to over 30m.
Seakeeper gyros are distributed in Australia by Twin Disc PAC, see www.twindisc.com.
