Because on the high seas anything can happen

In the marine industry it’s all about safety. In winches, the component choices and dimensioning must be absolutely right. Quality is classified for good reason: to minimize the number of breaks and avoid downtime. That’s why so many leading winch manufacturers and operators trust Black Bruin hydraulic motors. Because there’s just no room for risks due to bad choices.

For operations with frequent stops and starts

Black Bruin hydraulic motors are designed to maintain their constant torque very accurately while at a standstill or rotating in either direction. That makes the Black Bruin hydraulic motor and brake assembly the ultimate direct winch drive for various marine and offshore applications.

The ultimate power source for deck equipment

The marine and offshore applications with Black Bruin motors on board can enjoy many advantages.

High torque efficiency

Black Bruin’s hydraulic drives deliver exceptional torque efficiency, ensuring smooth and reliable operation of marine winches. This high performance minimizes energy consumption and maximizes operational uptime.

Strong brakes

Black Bruin motors are available with integrated or external brakes. Powerful load-holding brakes keep the load
safely and securely and can be used in emergency situations.

Well-sealed structure

Black Bruin motors are designed to operate reliably under demanding conditions and environments. The durable sealing design protects the motor from dirt and moisture, thus protecting the entire hydraulic system.

Hydraulikkteknikk supplies motors to winch builders, who service their winches onboard the boats. The company does some servicing itself on some of the motors, but not that much. “The reason for that is simply that Black Bruin motors are so good that they do not need much service.”
Morten Ostlund, Owner, Hydraulikkteknikk
