Hydraulic sailboat jib furler
GFI
ARTE - BAMAR
These products need scarce maintenance and are supplied with vanguard transmission systems. The use of high quality industrial parts, such as bearings, gears, and worm screws, makes the automatic stop reduction
gear smooth and silent.
The high torque efficiency developed by the GFI is granted by the use of “DANFOSS” orbital hydraulic motors. The worm screw reduction gear is an irreversible mechanism that absorbs the load created by the sail area without transmitting it to the hydraulic motor.
The manual emergency clutch represents an extra safety element for the user: it is operated with a winch handle. During the manual operation, the hydraulic motor must not be started.
A main characteristic of BAMAR GFI hydraulic systems is the possibility of being combined with an integrated hydraulic cylinder that allows the tension of the stay. Thus, each model may be supplied in the “standard” version or “with hydraulic stay adjuster”.
