Designed to meet the exacting demands of our marine seismic clients, the Ammonite range combines field-proven products in a hybrid system comprising a streamer clamp, a stiffener assembly and metallic bend restrictors. An Ammonite assembly is used as an attachment point on outer lead-in cables for towing applications. The assembly protects the cable from over-bending and comprises an articulated restrictor assembly together with bend stiffeners either side of the attachment point, which can be lead-in or connector type.
The Ammonite Assembly is generally used on outer lead-in cables for attachment of towing chains or paravane type diverters, where towing forces are higher than those on inner lead-in cables where an LB assembly [link to lead-in assemblies page] would be used. It can also be used on ocean bottom cable systems as an anchor weight attachment point.

Features :
ㆍFully split design allows complete field installation and replacement
ㆍIncreased bending moment capacity
ㆍThe assembly can offer a cable or connector mounted arrangement
ㆍThere is no metallic contact with the cable due to the use of polyurethane lined compliant clamps
ㆍMultiple yoke attachment options and multiple clamps give high grip capacity
ㆍThe assembly is spoolable - conditions can be incorporated into the design
ㆍMaterial selection is available to suit client specification
We can supply cable sizes 25 to 100mm with a maximum axial load to 200kN.
