Floating Titanium Lattice Could Out-Perform Steel and Plastic
is lower than that of the surrounding liquid, the structure will float – even when water flows through all its external openings,” Noronha said.Testing showed the team’s titanium structure was 70% stronger than the stainless steel or high-density polyethylene widely used in marine applications, when compared at the same overall density.It also performed well in short-term corrosion testing using natural seawater from Melbourne’s Port Phillip Bay: after two weeks of immersion, the lattice lost only 0.15% of its mass while its strength declined by less than 1%.Importantly, said
Silicon Sensing Releases New Zenith Accelerometer
Silicon Sensing latest accelerometer, Zenith, has been released to the marine market.Zenith (CAS150/170) is a closed-loop, single-axis micro electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) accelerometer designed for critical marine applications. It combines low-noise performance with low SWap-C, delivering sustained linear-acceleration measurement for many applications, including long-endurance or fast-changing operations in the harshest surface and sub-surface environments.Zenith combines low noise spectral density for superior signal clarity, with a 14g dynamic range, enabling accurate data capture in demanding
PMI Industries Launches New Split Bending Strain Relief
along the length of the cable as load conditions vary, which can increase service life and help prevent critical problems from occurring.Developed in response to customer demand for a field-installable solution, the Split BSR is particularly well-suited for government, defense, research, and marine applications where existing cable systems require additional protection or replacement of aging strain relief components without major system disruption.The Split BSR is available as a custom-engineered solution, with alternate color options and mounting configurations, including bolt hole patterns or
Rossi Expands its Planetary Range with EP Winch
accurately to their real needs and to develop EP Winch based on application realities experienced during use in the field. In this logic, the gearbox is not born as a standard answer to a standard need, but as an innovative solution designed to be developed together with the customer."For marine applications, EP Winch can also count on the DNV Type Approval Certificate, which strengthens its position in contexts where reliability and compliance with international standards are necessary requirements.EP Winch will be manufactured in the Lecce facilities, with a supply chain based on components
Xsens Upgrades IMUs With Heave Feature For Wave Motion Compensation
Xsens announced a capability upgrade for its industrial-grade Xsens Sirius and Xsens Avior inertial measurement units (IMUs). The new Heave feature delivers centimeter-level vertical displacement measurement, enabling real-time stabilization and wave compensation in a wide range of marine applications. Marine engineers can now access comprehensive motion data – roll, pitch, yaw, and Heave – from a single compact sensor. This eliminates the need for external processing or for oversized tactical-grade systems while maintaining the precision required for offshore platforms
