  • Patent number: 11796016
    Abstract: A shaft lock includes a radially inner rotor part that is coaxially connected to a shaft having a rotational axis and a fixed stator part that at least partially encloses the rotor part. In a locking state and in a holding state, an interference-fit connection between the rotor part and the stator part is produced by a plurality of locking bodies, and the interference-fit connection is cancelable by a transition into an unlocking state. To produce the interference-fit connection, each of the plurality of locking bodies are partially engageable in an interference-fit manner in a respective receiving geometry of the rotor part by rotation of a substantially hollow-cylindrical locking ring that coaxially encloses the stator part in a partially radially outer-lying manner.

  • Publication number: 20230331365
    Abstract: An energy storage system is for at least one electrical consumer in an electrical system of a watercraft. The at least one consumer is preferably a stabilizing device of the watercraft or a steering system for influencing the course of the watercraft. The energy storage system includes at least one converter connected to the electrical system for the supplying of the consumer. An energy storage is associated with the at least one converter.

  • Publication number: 20230286620
    Abstract: A fin bearing assembly for a fin stabilizer of a watercraft includes a shaft for driving at least one fin of the fin stabilizer that is disposed coaxially in a trunk pipe, and the fin is rotatably supported radially outward on the trunk pipe by at least two fin bearings. The shaft for the rotating driving is connected inside the hull to a drive unit of the fin stabilizer by a transmission of the fin stabilizer such that the shaft and the transmission rotate together.

  • Publication number: 20230264792
    Abstract: A device for the roll-stabilization of a watercraft in motion, at anchor, or at zero speed, and/or for influencing the course of the watercraft, includes a fin-carrying shaft on which a guide fin is disposed. For changing an actual angle of attack of the guide fin in the water, the fin-carrying shaft is drivable by an electromechanical drive unit, and the drive unit is disposed on the hull using a base. An electromechanical drive unit is configured with a synchronous motor that drives the fin-carrying shaft using a reducing eccentric transmission. The device thereby has a significantly reduced installation space requirement, causes only slight operating noises, and is also optimally electronically regulable.

  • Publication number: 20230249786
    Abstract: A drive device of a fin stabilizer is for pivoting a stabilizer fin about its fin shaft axis. The drive device includes a drive motor with an output shaft and a transmission wherein a including an input shaft. A fixing device for fixing the stabilizer fin in a pivot position acts directly on the transmission input shaft. A coupling is for conjoint-rotation connection of the transmission input shaft to the motor output shaft disposed at least sectionally in an interior of the motor output shaft. The coupling is connected to a free end of the transmission input shaft and has a flange connected to an annular end surface of the motor output shaft.
