Bamar presents the first patented Electronic Boom Vang
Bamar Electric boom vangs can be made in multiple sizes with different dynamic pull to cover all needs.
The units are manufactured with CNC machines from certified solid bars of material. Bodies are made in anodized aluminium alloy and studs/pins are made in special steel.
Electric motors are combined with planetary gearboxes for maximum efficiency with minimum electric absorption.
They can be either equipped with permanent magnets for the standard DC versions, or brushless for the custom versions (400V AC).
The standard dynamometric pin is equipped with a watertight plug and multi-polar cable to be wired onto the electrical/electronic box. Otherwise, the custom version can be supplied with a wireless dynamometric pin.
- Ecological: no hydraulics nor oil on board, but a very energy-saving
equipment - Easy installation: no manual pumps or hydraulic hoses and control units,
just connect the unit to the 12/24/48V on-board power supply; - Ease of use: controlled by 3 switches (Up – Down – Emergency Quick Release
high speed); - Connectivity: it is possible to connect the electric boom vang to the on-
board automation monitoring and management system (end-of-stroke sensors, load cell, ampere absorption, position sensor if required); - Active safety: the dynamometric pin recognises the external compression
loads exerted by boom and mainsail and allows the vang to automatically
adapt to the sail’s adjustment requirements (avoiding wrong manoeuvres
or overloads); - Passive safety: in the event of a power failure on board, thanks to the
manual emergency backup device, the vang can be extended or retracted
with a standard winch handle or power drill.
