A wide range of solutions are available to suit the geometry of individual platforms and the requirements for reeling either cable only or complex arrays with variable diameters and handling properties.

Designs are tailored to suit the specific acoustic array or cable and the space constraints on-board.

Turning Gear

Turning & Braking Gear

The system allows a main propeller shaft to be taken off-line, slowed until stationary and a brake applied.

The system can also be used to turn a shaft, when it is off-line, to prevent sagging.
