Synchronized Main Furling, SMF

Product catalog summary
Overview: The document introduces the Synchronized Main Furling (SMF) system, designed to upgrade manual furling masts to electric drive systems, enhancing sail handling for small crews. The system integrates an electric motor in the mast with the E40i electric winch for the outhaul, allowing for controlled sail deployment and retrieval with the push of a button.
In-Mast Furling Motor: The conversion from manual to electric involves replacing the vertical shaft in the line driver with a longer version connected to the motor. A clutch allows for manual operation if needed. The motor is integrated into the mast and connects to the Seldén Power Supply and SEL-Bus system. It is compatible with Seldén furling masts type RB and RC for yachts approximately 36-50 feet.
E40i Electric Winch: The winch features an integrated electric motor within the drum, requiring minimal space and maintaining headroom. It offers three-speed operation for different sailing needs and can be operated with two fingers, allowing single-handed sailors to adjust sail trim while helming.
Power Supply & SEL-Bus System: The system converts 12V or 24V to 42V, enabling smaller motors and cables. Each function has a dedicated motor control unit, and the SEL-Bus system ensures smooth operation without overloads. The system enters sleep mode when not in use to conserve power.
Connection Diagram: The document provides a detailed connection diagram, listing components such as the battery, main switch/fuse, power supply unit, push buttons, E40i winch, mast motor, and SEL-Bus connections.
Ordering Information: Customers are advised to contact a rigger or service yard for quotes and installation. Technical information and part numbers are available on the Seldén website.
Mast Sections Compatibility: The document lists various mast sections that can be upgraded to the SMF system, specifying dimensions and production years.
Company Information: Seldén Group is a leading manufacturer of mast and rigging systems, with a global network of over 750 authorized dealers. Contact information for various regional offices is provided.
