CEMAC Linear Cable Engines

CEMAC Linear Cable Engines are specialized heavy-duty cable-handling systems designed for offshore and subsea cable installation, deployment, recovery, and tension-control operations. The equipment provides controlled traction and movement of cables while maintaining consistent tension throughout the handling process.

The system is suitable for applications involving subsea power cables, telecommunications and fiber-optic cables, umbilicals, and other marine cables. It can be integrated with cable-laying vessels, offshore construction vessels, and dedicated cable installation equipment to support controlled and efficient cable handling during marine operations.

CEMAC Linear Cable Engines are designed to provide reliable grip and controlled cable movement during both deployment and recovery. The system can be configured according to cable diameter, weight, required pulling force, operating speed, installation depth, and specific project requirements.

Typical systems incorporate multiple traction units, drive mechanisms, cable guides, tension-control equipment, hydraulic or electric power systems, and operator control interfaces. The modular configuration allows the equipment to be adapted to different cable-handling requirements while supporting safe and precise operation.

The equipment is intended for demanding offshore environments and can be incorporated into wider cable installation spreads. Proper selection, engineering, inspection, testing, and commissioning should be carried out according to the cable manufacturer’s requirements, vessel configuration, project specifications, and applicable marine and offshore standards.
