Multiflex Rubber Mooring Compensators are designed to reduce the recurring peak strains and unexpected violent tugs resulting from deep swells, choppy waves, surf, tidal surges and also the wake from other vessels, yachts and ferries.
Multiflex Mooring Compensators increase the life of Mooring Lines and reduce the stress on cleats by absorbing tension and dampening shocks.
This protects the Mooring Lines from snapping, prevents excess snatch load on cleats and their deck fixings,
helps to mitigate the lines as they move.
Multiflex Mooring Compensators are made from highest quality of EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer)
rubber & integrally molded unique plastic lock in.
This provides excellent strength in addition to weather, abrasion and salt water resistance.
Compensating Movement and Force
The table below gives the maximum movement in mm for different numbers of turns and the force which the
compensator
Takes up when a line which is wound three times around the Compensator is straightened out completely.
More than three turns permit such a large compensating movement that the life of the Compensator can be
greatly shortened.
1. The extension of the compensator can be varied by changing the number of times the line is wound around it. The more turns, the further the compensator can extend.
2. You can set the extension you want. In narrow Mooring places, e.g. between Y booms, one or two turns is usually right.
3. In exposed Moorings, you should wind the line three times. You might also consider going up one size in
Mooring line diameter and Compensator.
EASY TO FIT
The mooring line is threaded through the holes, as shown in the drawing.
