A Norwegian manufacturer of fishing boats had the need to develop new boats with hybrid propulsion, which easily changed from diesel modality to the electric one, allowing travelling in protecting marine areas, besides entering ports without impacts on the environment.
MWM has designed and manufactured a large pneumatic toothed brake able to hold the bracket of a testing equipment in position. When the bracket reaches the horizontal established position, the brake engages and holds the bracket.
