Power Jacks says its integrated U-Series range of screw jacks and bevel gearboxes is believed to be the first of its kind for the oil and gas industry in that the diverse array of subsea tools optimizes flexibility and functionality to address the wide scope of high load applications while it also has an established proven track record.
The technologies, which are designed and delivered from Power Jacks’ manufacturing facility in Ellon, Aberdeenshire, can be connected together to make full jacking systems.
The screw jacks have proven depth rates of up to 3000m for lifting and positioning loads up to thousands of tonnes as standard. The bevel gearboxes also have the same depth rating as standard with torque ratings from tens to thousands of Newton Meters torque. In addition Power Jacks engineering team would relish the challenge to design new variants for deeper applications.
“We have already successfully used the range for pig launchers, subsea clamps and valve actuators,” says Bruce Bultitude, Power Jacks chairman and managing director. “The major advantages of using electro mechanical technology, compared with hydraulic alternatives, is higher performance, increased safety and reduced costs while they are much easier to control and more environmentally friendly. The U-series includes pressure compensated or flooded designs as well as stainless steel versions of both the screw jacks and bevel gearboxes.”
