BIBUS has a wide range of stainless steel machine elements and components. These products are ideal for use in the maritime sector, where steel and aluminum parts oxidize due to salt seawater. The stainless steel electric linear actuators from BIBUS are also regularly used in the maritime sector. An example of this can be seen in the photos below. The actuator ensures that the mast can be lowered easily. You can read more about this application in the article "actuators for the maritime industry".
In addition to adjusting the mast of a ship with the aid of an actuator, the antenna bracket can also be lowered via this electrical movement. This application is further explained in the current article.
Lowering the antenna bracket and mast using an actuator
The specialists at BIBUS are happy to think along with the most diverse problems. Our specialists were already familiar with adjusting a mast, but we were also asked to contribute towards the solution for adjusting the antenna bracket of a ship. By operating both the antenna bracket and the mast with the aid of an actuator, the ship in question can pass under low bridges. Ideal in the Dutch inner cities and canals.
The video below shows the smooth lowering of the antenna bracket. Because of this, the various antennas, lamps and other accessories mounted on the bracket do not have to be disassembled.
The same applies to adjusting the ship's mast in position. The electric linear actuator guarantees smooth and reliable movement.
Stainless steel components for the maritime sector
BIBUS supplies actuators from the German Bansbach (ISO ISO 9001: 2008). The range consists of six lines of customer-specific actuators. These can be distinguished based on the control of the actuators. The EasyE lines have an external control, while the EasE-i lines have an integrated control. The distinct product lines are both characterized by differences in maximum load. This varies from a maximum of 2,200N to a maximum of 10,000N. Using the actuator CAD configurator, you can easily put together the right actuator yourself.
In addition to actuators, BIBUS supplies various stainless steel components. This range consists of stainless steel gas springs, insert pins, locking bolts, adjustable feet, handles and bow handles and hinges. These components are available online through our webshop.
