Hydraulically driven stabilizers

The tank, pump and cooler can be integrated in the hydraulic system of the ship but MATN’S can also provide those components. At larger ships the stabilizer system often has a separate, dedicated pump with it’s own electric motor and oil tank built together with the cooler as a so called power pack.

The hydraulically driven stabilizer system consists of the following components:



Control units

By using the latest available sensors and components and building them together with al electronics in one small
cabinet we reduced the wiring to the least possible and also made the control unit the most compact available. Due to our gold-plated quick connectors on all components the electronics are very easy and fast installable.

STPRO4002
The computer with built in movement sensors calculates the required fin positions,
based on the input from the sensors and the control algorithm approximately 100 times per second. The static angle of the boat is also compensated. Furthermore this system also works better for types of seas with long waves (following sea). The control is adaptive. This means that the adjustment of this type is automatic, along with a manual possibility.
By using a colour touch-screen the operation of the system is visualised and the user is able to adjust and monitor many control parameters during sailing. All components and programmes have proved themselves in practice. The control unit uses modern technology and has a sound construction.

STPRO4003
Same control unit as the STPRO4002 with other (more precise) hydraulic valves.

STPRO4004
Same control unit as the STPRO4003 with components added for at anchor stabilization.

STPRO4003 G.P.S. / STPRO4004 G.P.S.
MATN’S Stabilizers has developed the GPS4004 device which supplies a speed signal to the STPRO4003 or STPRO 4004 control unit. With that speed signal the control unit can reduce the angle of the fins at higher speeds. The device uses a GPS signal input. Versions using NMEA0183 and NMEA2000 inputs are also available.
At very low speeds, such as in a harbour the fins can be automatically adjusted to the central position.


Touch screen possibilities

Master/slave/oil monitoring
If needed we can offer a slave touch screen in addition to the master screen. The master can be put in the wheel house and the slave in the engine room.

Oil monitoring Master Slave
Control units

To monitor the hydraulic functions or even cut off the hydraulics automatically in case of a hydraulic alarm we can also add an oil monitoring menu in the touch screen. This menu could contain for example the following functions: low level oil, high temperature oil, return filter clogged and pressure filter clogged.

By using a bus system we can add additional touch screens which make our system very flexible. As we have our own software programmer we are able to make tailor made solutions for the control units.

Integrated bridge
More and more shipyards prefer to use their own bridge panel system instead of all sizes of control panels of various
suppliers. MATN’s is very willing to cooperate and has the skills to integrate our stabilizer controls in such a system.


Design and production

3d CAD design and analyses3D CAD design and analyses
We design our products in 3D to be sure to have the best design and all parts will fit properly. With our software we can also make strength calculations and drawings which can be put into the total ship model of our customers.







CNC MachiningCNC Machining
High qualified craftsmen use CNC machines to make the parts of the actuator unit and shafts. Only high quality material is used and when needed, parts will be made from
certified material (Lloyd’s Register for example).






CNC MachiningFins
The fins are made from grade A steel and have a NACA0012 profile. They are protected from corrosion by a 3 layer epoxy paint system. Other materials (carbon composite for example) are also possible for the fins.
