Seakeeper Equipment
Seakeeper 6
Vacuum-encapsulated gyroscopic anti-roll stabilizer for boats of approx. 44' - 52', with 6,000 N-M-S angular momentum at max rated speed.
Description
The Seakeeper 6 is a gyroscopic stabilizer that counteracts boat roll at rest and underway. It eliminates up to 95% of boat roll on boats up to approximately 24 tons, providing 6,000 N-m-s of stabilizing power.
Inside a vacuum encapsulation the flywheel spins at up to 9,700 RPM. When the boat rolls, the gyro tilts fore and aft (precesses), producing gyroscopic torque to port and starboard that counteracts the roll.
Key features
- Ideal for boats of approx. 44' - 52'
- Angular momentum at max rated speed: 6,000 N-M-S
- Spool-up time to stabilization: 21 minutes (7,275 RPM)
