  2. Mechanical snubber - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechanical_snubber

    A mechanical snubber is a mechanical device designed to protect components from excess shock or sway caused by seismic disturbances or other transient forces. [1] During normal operating conditions, the snubber allows for movement in tension and compression. [2] When an impulse event occurs, the snubber becomes activated and acts as a restraint ...

  3. Snubber - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snubber

    A snubber is a device used to suppress ("snub") a phenomenon such as voltage transients in electrical systems, pressure transients in fluid systems (caused by for example water hammer) or excess force or rapid movement in mechanical systems.

  4. Seismic vibration control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seismic_vibration_control

    Hydraulic snubbers are used on piping systems when restrained thermal movement is allowed. [5] Mechanical snubbers operate on the standards of restricting acceleration of any pipe movements to a threshold of 0.2 g's, which is the maximum acceleration that the snubber will permit the piping to see. [6]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aker_Pusnes

    MacGregor Pusnes formerly known as Aker Pusnes, Aker Kværner Pusnes and Maritime Pusnes, established in 1875, is a designer and supplier of all types of deck machinery and mooring systems for marine and offshore applications. In addition, Aker Pusnes has developed and supplied bow loading and offloading systems for both simple and ...

  6. Active heave compensation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_heave_compensation

    Active heave compensation (AHC) is a technique used on lifting equipment to reduce the influence of waves upon offshore operations. AHC differs from Passive Heave Compensation by having a control system that actively tries to compensate for any movement at a specific point, using power to gain accuracy.

  7. Heave compensation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heave_compensation

    Heave compensation is motion compensator technology applied to minimizing the vertical movement of a load supported by lifting gear mounted on a heaving platform. Techniques include active heave compensation and passive heave compensation—the two traditional types of heave compensation—as well as balanced heave compensation.

  8. Offshore embedded anchors - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Offshore_embedded_anchors

    The properties of chain, versus wire, mooring lines have been investigated, with chain mooring lines causing reductions in anchor capacity of up to 70%. [6] Thus, where appropriate and cost-efficient, wire mooring lines should be used. The embedded section of a mooring line contributes to the anchor's holding capacity against horizontal movement.

  9. Fairlead - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fairlead

    Adjustable fairlead (lower right) leading to winch on sailboat Fairlead (Chock style) Three mooring lines running through fairlead on a Royal New Zealand Navy ship.. A fairlead is a turning point for running rigging like rope, chain, wire or line, that guides that line such that the "lead" is "fair", and therefore low friction and low chafe. [1]
