Gimbal Bearing Engineered Marine Products - EMP Engineered Marine Products (30-00806)

Since the 15th century, when they were first employed to stop the movement of early compasses on ships, gimbals have existed in their current form. One of the more common uses for gimbals and gimbal bearings is marine applications. They are employed in marine applications to sustain the fragile gyro-compass and attenuate the motion of machinery located on the deck, which is likewise subject to ship motion brought on by sea conditions. It is similar to the ball and socket joint in your shoulder, except that this collection needs to be flexible while carrying the entire engine thrust force.

Key Features:

• The link between the vessel and the riser system of an offshore drilling rig is provided by gimbal bearings.
• The bearings shield the machinery from excessive strain and deterioration.
• The weight of the drilling riser is supported by several elastomeric pads arranged in a circle by the conventional gimbal bearing, allowing vessel and riser oscillations.
• The significant elastomer deterioration and bond separation brought on by the intense loads, and environmental conditions these pads encounter in use can reduce the pad life.
