Rack And Pinion Jacking System
The rack jack from wmh herion provides simple synchronous lifting motion.
Rack and pinion jacking system. Rack and pinion skidding systems are used for moving the cantilever and the drill floor of a jackup rig to locate the well center at correct position. The gustomsc rack pinion system offers jacking speed up to 0 8 m min and leg handling speed up to 1 2 m min therefore the jacking operation is no longer the decisive factor during a rig move. Re torqueing can be performed automatically by the vsd control. Patented load sharing devices ensure equal load distribution over the pinions increasing safety and lifetime of the jacking system.
Offshore jack up rigs are the widely used in the world s oil gas exploration of which the key parts are legs and jacking systems. Currently tsc is one the worldwide first tier jacking system manufacturers globally recognized. Different from the conventional electrical rack and pinion jacking system where the jacking motors are typical direct on line dol abb utilizes advanced variable frequency drives vfd and vfd motors to optimise power consumption under different working conditions and improve operating flexibility and system reliability. Variable speed rack pinion jacking system description the gustomsc jacking system offers safety minimum mainte nance and a variety of outstanding features from an operational point of view.
The rack and pinion jacking system is designed manufactured and tested in our plant in nantes france. Cost effective and reliable system for over 100 vessels worldwide. The system of rack pinion transforms linear motion to the rotation vice versa. Hydraulic rack and pinion systems in the range of 500 to 2 000 tons per leg contain in house fabricated motors power units and control systems using standard or tailor made components.
This system uses multiple hydraulic or electric motors and gearboxes to distribute the torque between all legs to lift the whole platform smoothly and simultaneously. Our blm skidding units are installed above the main deck and are based on the same proven technology used in our jackup elevating systems. The range of jacking systems suits the gustomsc cj and ng series and can be easily customized to any other jack up rig design. Providing quality unique gearboxes and solutions for use on industrial machinery.
Electric rack pinion jacking system hydraulic rack pinion jacking system cylinder jacking system. Tsc can offer jacking system used for the most jack up s in the world. Capable of lifting a load upwards of 93 600 kips. Designed and built in compliance with abs dnv rules for self elevating platforms vessels.
This includes the complete package the heavy steel structures gear trains electric motors and controls.
