Конусное крыло

A конусное крыло is a type of морской кранец designed to protect both ships and dock infrastructure from damage during docking or mooring operations. The cone shape provides excellent energy absorption и reaction force control, making it suitable for a wide range of applications in ports, harbors, and other marine environments.

Key Features of Cone Fenders:

1. Shape and Design:
   • The cone fender has a conical shape, which helps in distributing impact forces more evenly when a vessel docks or moors.
   • This shape offers a progressive deformation under impact, meaning the fender gradually compresses during impact, absorbing energy efficiently while reducing the force transmitted to the ship or the dock.
2. Материал:
   • Cone fenders are typically made from резина или synthetic rubber compounds, chosen for their долговечность, resilience, and ability to withstand harsh marine conditions like saltwater exposure, UV rays, and extreme weather.
   • Some models may have polyurethane coatings for added protection against wear and abrasion.
3. Поглощение энергии:
   • One of the primary advantages of cone fenders is their high energy absorption capacity. The fender compresses progressively as a vessel makes contact, helping to cushion the impact without transmitting significant force to the vessel or dock.
   • Cone fenders are particularly effective for large vessels и high-impact environments, such as commercial ports, cruise terminals, and offshore oil platforms.
4. Performance:
   • Low reaction force: The conical design ensures that the fender’s reaction force during impact is low and manageable, which helps minimize potential damage to the vessel’s hull and the docking structure.
   • High deflection: The design allows for high deflection, meaning the fender compresses more than other fender types, which contributes to its energy absorption capacity.
5. Installation:
   • Cone fenders are typically installed on piers, docks, или quays. They are usually mounted horizontally or vertically, depending on the specific needs of the docking area.
   • These fenders can be installed using chains, ropes, или brackets, and they are often arranged in clusters or rows for optimal protection.
