Sleipner electric actuators for Vector Fins

The compact design of the actuator is cleverly engineered around a frameless torque
motor and a Harmonic Drive strain wave gear. A combination of aluminum, composite, and
stainless-steel materials for minimal weight and maximum life expectancy. The gear type
is chosen considering the extreme loads fins might get in heavy seas and have safety
factors and features way above the gear types typically used in electric actuators. 

Key features actuator

• Instant on by the press of a button - no start-up period
• Lightweight and compact construction
• Ultra-responsive and energy-efficient brushless motor
• Galvanically isolated design for easy installation in metal hulls
• 24/48V
• 230/400Volt – 1 and 3 phase

Patented solution for noise cancellation

Another focus has been on noise reduction through its development, resulting in a patented
solution reducing 92% of the structural born noise from the actuator.
Another benefit is that it reduces peak stress loads on the gears and the hull. 

S-LINK™

S-Link™ is a CAN-based control system used for communication between Sleipner products installed on a vessel.

• Compact and waterproof plugs
• Keyed and color-coded connectors to ensure correct and easy installation
• Different cable lengths, extenders and T-connectors makes the system scalable and flexible to install

ANY SPEED

Vector Fins™ is the only top-performing stabilizer system for both cruising and at anchor use. The fins’ concave shape creates multilateral force direction improving the stationary positioning of a vessel while at anchor. The uniqueness of the design also becomes evident while underway as it improves in effectiveness as speed increases. Sea trials have proven that Vector Fins™ are up to 50% more efficient at anchor and capable of reducing the uncomfortable rolling motions of the vessel by up to 95% while cruising.

PATENTED DESIGN

Sleipner continually reinvests in developing and offering the latest technology in marine advancements. Patented products are revolutionary one-of-a-kind designs available and sold exclusively by Sleipner.

360° INSTALLATION

Designed to fit in small and challenging installation areas, the Vector Fins™ unique cone shaft design allows you to utilize the space onboard to install the actuators in any direction and insert the fins into the position you require.

GALVANIC SEPARATION

Immersed parts exposed to seawater are galvanic isolated from the onboard electrical system, eliminating stray currents.
