Ship and offshore technology
Ship and offshore technology
REO components are already in use on ships on all the world’s oceans and waters – sometimes under the most adverse conditions. Salt in the water and air as well as changing weather conditions wear down the electrical components and jeopardise the entire system. Thanks to the use of high-quality materials and many years of experience in the production of components such as air chokes, motor chokes, filters and braking resistors, REO products guarantee safe functionality even under the special conditions of shipping, for example when treating ballast water. REO components undergo salt spray and water tests and are available with a protection class of up to IP69K.
The products therefore meet the high requirements of marine technology and also offer reliable functionality for use in ports (e.g. in cranes and vehicles), in offshore applications and in other maritime areas such as on oil rigs.

High protection classes for the highest demands
REO products are used worldwide under extreme conditions – be it at over 40°C in deserts, at -50°C in mountainous areas or on the high seas. Water, salt, corrosive media and mechanical influences such as vibrations or oscillations must not affect the functionality of the electronic components. REO components from the heavy-duty range are specially designed for such environmental influences. environmental influences. Their special structure ensures maximum protection against mechanical, chemical or biological influences and guarantees high functional reliability and a long service life. Thanks to our many years of experience, REO products are known for being reliable even under the toughest conditions.
To ensure the safety of people and components, REO utilises high protection classes. We currently offer a protection class value of up to IP69K in a wide range of products. Our components have to prove their resistance under extreme test conditions. This includes shock and vibration tests, salt spray tests, cold and heat tests as well as tests for water resistance and fire protection.

REO: A reliable partner
As one of the world’s leading manufacturers of inductive components, REO specialized early on in the challenge of EMC problems in frequency converter-controlled drive systems. In cooperation with manufacturers of drive systems and mechanical engineering companies, we have innovatively advanced this development over the last four decades. Our EMC solutions are specially tailored to these drive systems. Thanks to our comprehensive vertical integration and expertise in filtering such systems, which is bundled in our own development center, we can offer our customers the best possible EMC solutions. In addition to EMC tests and tests under extreme environmental conditions, we also carry out shock and vibration tests in our own laboratory.
For particularly demanding projects, we at REO develop customized solutions in close cooperation with our customers. Our many years of experience and constant innovation, inspired by the diverse requirements of industries such as rail technology and wind energy, enable us to create the ideal tension for our customers’ products.
