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
