Case Study
Diving For a Solution and Delivering
| Challenge | A customer needed a rotary union solution to fit within tight constraints of a recently developed submersible vessel designated to remove heavy barnacle build-up from the underwater surfaces of ships and offshore platforms reaching 300 feet deep. The rotary union needed to deliver up to 3000 PSI of hydraulic flow to power the drive motor, provide a passage to allow for case drainage and allow electrical wiring to pass through it. |
| Solution | By collaborating with the customer’s designers, the SRS team designed a 3-passage, center through-bore rotary union constructed of 316 stainless steel, capable of handling the high working pressures and harsh environmental conditions. The rotary union is a key component in the steering linkage that directs or steers the submerged all-wheel drive vessel about the ship or platform. A series of sensors send vehicle data through the center of the shaft back up to the operating ship’s deck. |
| Results | SRS provided a solution that met all of the customer’s exact requirements. The new water jet technology project launched its first trials off the coast of Southeast Africa near Madagascar. Benefits:
