Drives and motors for electrically driven marine deck machinery and offshore winches

Your deck machinery needs to work reliably while meeting the tightest turnaround times with the smoothest, uninterrupted operation. That’s why we developed our marine certified variable frequency drives (VFD) with dedicated winch control program. This program with our direct torque control (DTC) gives the added benefit of eliminating the need for motor encoders or load cell sensors, reducing your part count and reducing maintenance.

Working in close cooperation with winch manufacturers, we’ve incorporated our extensive experience into the drives that work with various marine and offshore winch types. You can use the control program as is, or customize to meet your specific needs. Pair our drives with our LV marine motors for a one-stop supplier that is backed by a global service and support network.

Performance. Speed. Reliability. Everything counts when building and running your deck winches.

Winch types served

• Anchoring and mooring winches
• Tugboat towing winches
• RoRo ramp winches
• Active heave compensation (AHC) winches
• Spooling winches
• Offshore winches

Drives for compressors and blowers

We can handle the pressure

Compressors play an important role, from powering pneumatic tools on a production line to cooling and refrigeration. Using our drives can help you not only reduce maintenance needs, but also help you save energy. Our variable frequency drives with direct torque control (DTC) quickly react to discharge pressure differences, have the torque control needed to keep the pressure stable, from high-torque demands at startup to continual use.
Our drives help you save energy during consumption at partial loads. The drives will vary the compressor motor’s speed to correspond to the current demand. They also react quickly to demands so you don’t have to keep higher discharge pressures in reserve to compensate. And the ABB global service and support network ensures that no matter where your compressors are operating.

Smooth startup. High torque control. Energy savings. Everything counts when you are looking for ways to run compressors more efficiently.
