Electromechanical Chain

Electromechanical Chain

Key Benefits:

  • Real Time Data Seafloor-to-Surface
  • Bend Fatigue Resistant
  • Quieter than Chain
  • Won’t hockle

EOM Offshore’s electromechanical (EM) chain visually resembles the stretch hose, and it too can deliver fixed, real-time measurements and power.   However, unlike the stretch hose, the EM Chain is non-compliant, so it does not stretch or bend, and that is due to the inner chain built inside the marine exhaust hardwall.  It will not hockle, and it is quieter than comparable steel link chain alternatives.  

EOM Offshore’s EM chain’s strength derives from the use of marine chain (9/32″, 1/2″, or 3/4″) encapsulated in an exclusive urethane blend, surrounded by coil wire itself protected by urethane and a tough outer hose.

The EM Chains provide bend fatigue resistance while maintaining axial strength in the mooring.  They may be used at any position in the mooring requiring data and power transmission, where stretch hoses are not required.  The EM Chain is compatible with EOM Offshore’s stretch hose, universal joints, anchor recovery system, and multi-function node.
