Impact or collision protection, Machines and plants
Noble yachts brilliantly protected by ACE
Fenders protect ships from collision damage during berthing manoeuvres. So that yachts can also survive soft and ungentle touches with other boats or jetties, ACE has worked with a customer to design ideally suited, adjustable stainless steel versions of MAGNUM industrial shock absorbers MA/ML and bring them to series production readiness. The previous solution was discoloured by penetrating salt water, which had no effect on the functionality of the fenders, but looked unsightly. The new complete package works both technically and visually to the complete satisfaction of even the most demanding yacht owners.
Profile Dampers - TUBUS TR-L
Saltwater-resistant impact protection for lifeboats
When launching lifeboats, it is theoretically conceivable that there will be contact between the ship and lifeboat. Launching appliances with protective bodies are fitted in order that the lifeboat is not damaged. Since TUBUS TR-L profile dampers have been doing this job on one of the largest passenger ships in the world, the regular replacement of the damping elements has become a thing of the past. This is because in contrast to earlier solutions made of rubber, the material of the ACE profile dampers does not become brittled or cracked, even in contact with salt water and UV irradiation.
Profile Dampers - TUBUS TS
Damping for offshore landing structures
The maintenance of wind turbines in open seas has long resulted in damage to maintenance boats. Because of impact velocity and swell, an increase in the boat's mass of up to 20 % must be taken into account when landing on a rigid mooring structure. It is only since the landing operation has been carried out with the aid of the ACE company's TUBUS structural dampers that cable repair and maintenance work on wind turbines has been made safe for both personnel and equipment. The TUBUS TS84-43 used here are seawater resistant and withstand ambient temperatures from -40 °F to + 194 °F.
