Lion Cylindrical Fenders have Protected ships and wharves for more years than any other fender type. Cylindrical fenders offer simplicity in installation and offers the most economical solution to many Fendering problems. They offer versatility in installation and can be mounted horizontally, vertically and diagonally. They are ideal for wharves , jetties, Bow and stern for harbor tug boats.

As per the requirement of the length fender it can be chuted in one or more sections/ lengths. When there are multiple lengths spigots or connector plugs are used for installation. Also PRE-CURVED Fenders be supplied. Contact Lion Rubber Factory for more assistance.

Basic standards of Hollow Cylindrical fenders are OD of fenders = 2X ID of fender

Lion Cylindrical fenders can be easily mounted on the hull of the ship with the help of longitudinal chain and is known as suspended installation and is also additionally supplemented by webbing shops preferably nylon make or steeled chains which fit in special grooves provided therein. The ends of the fender can be tapered to get a body blend connection to the hull of the vessel.

Lion D type fenders are used for tugs, barges, workboats and pilot boats as side belting and protective fenders against heavy rubbing, brushing forms. These D type fenders display a higher energy absorption capacity, thus minimizing deface contact. These fenders can also be mounted on quay are by means of anchor belts. Lion D type fenders are supplied with D hole Rounded hollow or solid. Long length D fenders can be supplied to match the Aft or Bow radius.

Lion W Type fenders are installed on to the bow and the aft portions of Ocean going tugs, to product the hull of the vesse, against damages caused during pushing and pulling operations / towage . These fenders are installed in similar manner as those of key Hole Fenders.

• Features Applications
• Extreme-duty design
• Twin-leg attachment
• Open bone for easy installation
• Grooved for extra grip
• Fits around tight bends
• Ocean-going tugs
• Icebreakers
• Large harbour tugs
• Bridge and pile protection

Lion Key Hole Fenders are used as an alternative to W-fenders incase of extremely heavy loads. The keyhole cross-section is very tough but can be curved around the hull. Fixing / mounting is very simple with this type of fender.

Features

• Heavy duty design
• Traditional, proven shape
• Grooved or plain surface
• Fits around bends

LION SD FENDERS
Lion Square type fenders are used for tugs,barges,workboats  and pilot boats as side belting and protective fenders against heavy rubbing, brushing and pushing forms. These D type fenders display a higher energy absorption capacity, thus minimizing deface contact. These fenders can also be mounted quay are by means of anchor belts. Lion Square type fenders are supplied with D hole Rounded hollow or solid. Long length Square fenders can be supplied to match the Aft or Bow radius.

Common sizes and the arrangement of music note seal over the seal base plate. The initial interference note type seal shall vary from 2 to 5 mm depending upon the requirement and type of its installation discretion of the designer.

The music note seal is generally recommended to be used on gates operated for head up to 30 metres. hollow bulb music note seal is recommended for gates operated at low head up to 15 metres.

A solid bulb music note seal is recommended for gates operated at medium head, that is at a head
exceeding 15 m but less than 30 m.

Stem Seal

This type of seal is used for heads exceeding 30 m. The sealing will be obtained due to interference pressure between the seal seat and seal and also behind the seal in space between the seal base plates. The sealing bulb should project 6mm beyond the face of the clamps. The initial interference of 2 to 5mm the plane of the sealing bulb and sealing face of the seal seat is usually provided.

These seals may be used as top, bottom and side seals either by using them with water pressure acting them which is withdrawn before the gate is moved to reduce / eliminate friction load or they may be used with metal or flurocarbon film to achieve the same purpose. On heavy gates such seals may be well bottom seals where enough mechanical compression becomes available to make a good seal.
 

Double Bulb Seal These type of seals are used where the gate is required to seal from either upstream or downstream side. These are normally used for installation such as lock gates.

Z Type Seal
These seals are moulded or extruded to the shape required and the sealing effect is obtained partly due to initial interference with the embedded sealing plate and partly due to the deflection under load. To ensure even tightening of seals and thus to avoid waviness of the deal, brass spacer tubes may be used. This type of seal is used on gates on the cresis of dams and weirs.
23mm

These seals are used generally as bottom seals for all types of gates and the seal against bottom sealing plate. They require high initial compression loading for proper seating. The projection of bottom wedge seal shall vary from 2 to 5 mm depending upon the requirement and type of installation at the discretion of the designer. 

Rubber seals are metal cladded to reduce frictional force. These seals are less flexible than rubber seals. These seals are less effective to cover the deficiencies caused by misalignment in the embedded metal of the gate or variations in the gate fabrication. To overcome the drawback of reduced flexibility of fully cladded seals and to cover some degree of misalignment of either the gate or embedded parts, cladding may be provided on portion of the seal.
