Section G Additional Information The Seakeeper 2 uses gyroscopic principles to reduce boat roll motions in waves and wakes independent of boat speed. In installations involving multiple Seakeepers, each Seakeeper operates independently of one another; therefore this manual only discusses the operation of a single unit. A Seakeeper 2 consists of a Gyro assembly, a CAN communications cable, and a Display.
Page 181
Additional Information Section G proportional to the precession rate. The farther the Seakeeper is from vertical (zero degrees) the lower the anti-roll torque. The vertical arrows in Figure 2 illustrate the direction of the forces that the Seakeeper exerts on the boat’s hull to damp roll motion.
Page 182
Section G Additional Information Seakeeper Assembly The Seakeeper assembly consists of a flywheel housed in a cast aluminum vacuum- tight enclosure. The flywheel spins about a vertical axis and is supported by upper and lower pairs of bearings. A DC brushless motor mounted inside the enclosure spins the flywheel at high speed.
Page 183
Additional Information Section G Figure 3 – Seakeeper Assembly Display The display shown below is the user interface to the Seakeeper 2 and should be mounted at the primary helm station. It is used to start, operate, monitor and shutdown the Seakeeper. Sensors, alarms and shutdowns are provided to allow unattended operation.
Page 184
Section G Additional Information Figure 4 – Operator Display Drive Box The glycol/water mix that cools the Seakeeper is also circulated through a cold plate inside the Drive Box to remove heat from high-power electronic components. The Motor Drive Box contains an electrical hazard and the cover should not be removed while the flywheel is spinning and the DC input voltage is present.
Page 185
Additional Information Section G Figure 5 – Drive Box Electronic Control Module The Electronic Control Module (ECM) monitors all the system sensors and automatically regulates operation of the Seakeeper. The controller commands the motor speed and regulates the Seakeeper’s precession rate and angular position. This is accomplished by commands to a high response flow control valve in the hydraulic brake circuit that increases or decreases the precession rate.
Page 186
Section G Additional Information Brake The brake mechanism consists of two hydraulic cylinders that attach to a crank arm on the Seakeeper gimbal shaft. The Seakeeper controller modulates how fast the oil can flow through the control valve thus controlling the precession rate of the Seakeeper.
