Stern Gate

An electric alternative to the current legacy design hydraulic stern gate designs for the amphibious fleet are also available. Basic components of the electric drive machinery, such as the variable speed drive, control station and actuator designs are identical between ship classes to improve acquisition cost and drive down through-life cost for the Navy.

When moving from hydraulic to electric a weight savings may be expected. As well, a transition to this electrical system will greatly reduce the installation cost compared to the supply and installation of the legacy hydraulic system.

    - Identical designs of basic components between ship classes improves acquisition costs

 - Weight savings when moving from hydraulic to electric system

 - Electric system greatly reduces installation cost compared to hydraulic system

Technical support and services including maintenance, training and parts support can be provided.  Through the support and training for basic operation, maintenance, and repair of the system, customers will be able to demonstrate a comprehensive understanding of all the main components and subcomponents of the system.

A highly trained field service engineers with experience in assisting customers can also visit on-site when help is needed.
