6.1 - Environmental requirements
• We recommend positioning the stabilizer in a dry, ventilated place in order to enable it to operate at full power and be
protected from atmospheric agents.
• Like for other machinery, for greater comfort we recommend choosing an engine compartment already fitted with acoustic
insulating material. The noise generated by MC
2
X 16k - 16K lv is <
70 dB
(measured in stable conditions, without wave
motion).
• The stabilizer shall not be installed in a closed or not sufficiently ventilated and spacious compartment.
• The work area shall be large enough to enable technicians to assemble/disassemble the stabilizer as well as having access
to it for maintenance.
To determine whether there is enough free space around the stabilizer, it is also necessary to make sure that there is enough
space to remove the external cover, to easily access the connections, and to not obstruct other equipment nearby
6.0 - Structure and housing analysis
Before any assessment on the ideal location, it is necessary to make sure that the position chosen and the boat
structure are suitable to withstand and transfer to the hull the loads generated by the gyroscope on the hull.
If the installer does not have the necessary skills to perform this type of check, a qualified technician or a naval engineer
should be consulted to conduct a structural analysis on site.
Load generated by MC²X 16k - 16k LV
The value (Newton/meter) to be used is obtained by multiplying by 3
the declared output torque value of the gyroscope (Newton/meter):
16350 N·m X 3 =
49050 N·m
(1 Kg = 9,81 Nm)
Upon request, 2D and 3D dimensional drawings can be provided to accurately assess the dimensions
The selection of the area and the position on the boat requires taking some aspects in consideration, which will be
illustrated in the sections below by means of rules and recommendations.
