Balltec Helical Connectors are designed, manufactured and tested in accordance with the requirements of DNV Offshore Mooring Chain (2008) and ABS Rules for Certification of Offshore Mooring Chain (2009).
Helical Subsea Mooring Connectors (SMC’s) are a simplified connector suitable for the most demanding mooring applications. Helical Connectors build on Balltec’s experience in subsea moorings and are specifically designed to retain ease of use whilst reducing parts count and negating the need for chemical and environment seals. The quality and reliability of the offshore mooring hardware is of paramount importance, and the simplicity of Helical Connectors offers unmatched confidence and reliability from one of the world’s leading mooring connector suppliers.
The design of the Helical Connector combines the top entry, self-aligning and speedy installation features of the more complex ball and taper connector with the simplicity of a traditional ROV H-Link.
The Helical is a simple 3 peice connector consisting of a male element, female element and connecting pin.
The male and female elements are machined load bearing forgings. When the male is lowered into the female, chamfers of the nose of the female interface with chamfers on the female body. This interaction engages both the male and female elements and ensures the pin holes are self-aligned for easy, first time, insertion of the connecting pin.
