Description
EOM Offshore’s universal joints are versatile and may be used directly under surface buoys, as interfaces to subsurface buoys, and between mooring risers and seafloor structures.
Key Benefits:
- Real Time Data Seafloor-to-Surface
- Relieve Strain at Termination
- Isolate Roll and Pitch
Electromechanical Universal Joint
The electromechanical universal joint provides a robust electrical and mechanical connection point for electromechanical riser elements. In return, electrical failure is reduced and the quality of data measurements from subsurface instruments is assured.
Features:
- Provides a robust electrical and mechanical connection point
- Three axis 45-degree deflection
- Protected path for electrical conductors along the central axis
- Stainless steel body construction
- Robust lifespan assuming periodic refurbishment
Mechanical Universal Joint
The mechanical universal joint provides a combination of strength and wear resistance for bending under load, and may be used with mooring riser elements such as chain and wire.
Features:
- Mechanical termination point for mooring riser elements
- 75° deflection on swing shaft/30 degree on clevis
- Permits roll and pitch without mechanical wear to riser elements
- Stainless steel construction
- Robust lifespan assuming periodic refurbishment
